  • Employee

Stable work environment with excellent benefits and pension as well as union backing. Job is fairly easy.

4.07

Suggestions for improvement

  • Should be easier to move up if you have the skills.

What I like about the company

Current management is supportive and politics are kept away from employees. Pay is relatively good for the amount of work I have to put in. Hours are extremely flexible and I never have to take my work home with me. Benefits are unparalleled as it costs me next to nothing for the best health, dental, and vision in the area. Pension is a plus.

What I dislike about the company

Very hard to move up if you are in a smaller department, and little motivation to do so as well. Seniority is taken into consideration rather than skills. Your pay is capped after 5 years with only cost of living adjustments.

It's a challenging but rewarding position. Something new and different every day.

3.57

Suggestions for improvement

  • Make it easier to move up in to management positions.

What I like about the company

I have great benefits. 2 retirement accounts, medical, dental and vision coverage and the backing of a union.

What I dislike about the company

Management is very difficult to get in to. And often times they make decisions about our work without really knowing what we need.
