Pros

pay, benefits, some of the people

Cons

they preach they're all about family which is a joke. the only family they care about is pgw. union is company sponsored, just because they pay well doesn't mean they can keep you from your family which they will do if your in field ops. asking to get done on time. youll have to deal with massive ego issues. youll be forced to a lot of overtime and get run into the ground and all the union says is youre making money right. sorry but money doesn't keep a happy home. in the winter ok i get it. no need to punish a good worker for doing their job and being good at it just to let a lazy person go home on time. union is cut throat be aware. micromanaged all across the board. trust no one 3 yrs ago they begged us/employees to give positive reviews here, here is an honest one. believe nothing you here and half what you see. very cliquey atmosphere. its high school with grown adults.
