Pros

Stable company with stable work. Safety is the priority.

Cons

Operations managers will find someone to blame rather than resolving the root cause. This combined with non-competitive compensation has resulted in significant employee turnover in the teams and not enough plant knowledge or resources to be able to resolve equipment problems in the long term.
