Pros

Autonomy, freedom to make best decisions for the job.Excellent pay, good benefits inc. health, dental, vision, and matching 401K. Many opptys for advancement and lateral moves. Interesting work - they get involved in all things related to controls, HVAC, energy, water, power. Learned a tremendous amount about business and money.

Cons

High accountability is the other side of the coin. Some very aggressive co-workers. Revolving door of people who cannot handle the responsibility.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay. Typical Benefits package (health, 401k, insurance savings, etc). Focus on safety.

Cons

Inability to balance work & home life. Pressure to excel with little to no reward or recognition. Emphasis on safety training but sorely lacking training in processes and programs you use every day. Mixing all of that with a constantly dynamic environment educes incredible work related stress.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large stable company. Profitable and financially well run.

Cons

Despite being a large company (130,000 employees) the company is split into 3 divisions with numerous sub-divisions. Collaboration and synergy between the sub-divisons is derisable. Very little integration of systems and processes so it can feel you are working for different companies. Senior management tend to be imported from the US - to do Europe - and focus on short-term cost cutting to boost profits rather than sustainable sales growth. The company is in the right space but is seriously underperforming despite the opportunities.
