Cons

Please note that most positions require working on site in Richland, WA However, approximately 1/3 of positions are eligible for a hybrid schedule with some days of remote work

Pros

Decent benefits. Part of the public employees' retirement system (a state-backed pension program) if you can stomach at least five years of employment there.

Cons

A hostile and combative work environment. Carries a distinct lack of diversity as a badge of honor, going as far as to snuff out true efforts to bring ethnic and cultural diversity into the company. Human Resources and Employee Concerns turn their backs on retaliation for protected activities, and good managers are prevented from taking actions that protect their employees. Executives drive decision-making that does not support nuclear safety, and it's appalling that they are in negotiations to operate new nuclear technology.

Pros

Diverse and access across the company in all departments

Cons

Small group with limited mentors. Most groups typically dislike the risk role.

Pros

State Pension and Matching 401k - Innovative in bringing modular nuclear techology

Cons

Promoting Growth from within and being proactive with inflation impacts

Cons

Hard schedule to adjust to

Pros

Benefits; pension (to try and keep you on)

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. Not worth the pay. You have to be on a ERO duty cycle (on call 25% of your life), bonuses only go to upper management, no mentorship for early career engineers. Lot's of empty promises about change with no action. No sense of team in this organization. Innovation is an example of a word they through around and don't know what it means. Turn over is crazy and I can see why

Pros

The people you work with day to day.

Cons

You end up having to do managements work because they can’t figure it out. Going on three years without a contract. None essential employees we’re paid to stay home during the pandemic for a vacation while essential employees had to go to work every day. Then to thank the essential Employees the for keeping the plant running company had a bbq. The non Essential employees Where let out we’re let out of work early and payed for it while the essential employees had to stay. The Schedule it’s not beneficial to a healthy life. And there is no work life balance. Mandatory overtime is a guarantee that this job site.

Pros

Cons

Swing shift and the lack of sleep

Pros

people, pay, work, and challenge

Cons
