Pros

Good company, great management principles that discourage micromanagement and encourage continuous improvement and innovation. Private company, long term thinking is strongly supported, not overly concerned about quarterly returns.

Cons

Large corporation which leads to a lot of red tape and roadblocks which can be frustrating.

Pros

Great benefits and pay including 401K match. Leadership seems to listen if people speak up. Safety culture is above and beyond any other place I have worked.

Cons

One year will be spend like crazy and the next will be feast or famine. Need to learn these cycles and even out so it's not so cyclical.

Pros

Free coffee, good manger, good colleagues

Cons

While the company claims to be principle-based, recent unilateral decisions suggest a shift toward short-sighted cost-cutting over operational efficiency. Removing mobile phones from customer-facing staff—who are expected to be available around the clock—is a prime example of 'saving' pennies while risking thousands in lost productivity and client trust. This 'cheap' approach is compounded by a leadership culture, particularly in the GP Center, that prioritizes managing up over building value. There is a visible trend of supervisors focusing on optics for Executive VPs rather than mastering the business or developing their teams. When you trade essential tools for temporary budget wins and prioritize ego over principles, you create a recipe for mediocrity.
