Pros

very laid back, everyone is unqualified, except safety dept. welders and some fitters. pros no one really knows the required time it takes to do a job . all the engineers are young and have lack of mechanical experience , corporate is in texas and obviously does not care. if you if you last name is Quevas Nieces , Odom,or ladner its a shoe in hush hush lol.

Cons

everyone is kin litteraly . when you ask them if they are related they all deny it. but after working there for six months the truth eventually comes out. all the supervision are ex dope heads or have no prior experience at all. the place is falling apart before i left one of the stacks were gamma scanned . it was so thin if a storm cam it probably would have just broke in two. we welded a reinforcment around it for a solution. smh everything out there is a band aid, not to mention they have wells that are 5 miles deep they pour chlorine ,tickle, titanium dioxide, and acid down into the ground the EPA supposivly can not do anything because they are grandfatherd.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
