Pros

The paid for First Aid Cert, PEC Card, and H2S Cert.

Cons

They will let you go easily, even if your a new hire they fired 18 people in the training class during their mass lay off March 2, 2012. They force you to be on a staffing company for up to a year with no benefits or bonuses and will let you go in a mass lay off even with a year of dedication. They are quick to pay decent, but even quicker to let you out the door. Better off with a company that will stand behind its employees than its share holders.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
