Avantages
- Schedule is 12 hour shifts, alternating between four and three days a week. - Great resume builder job. - The people are nice; I met one of my best friend there, and the tank operators were all very friendly with me.
Inconvénients
- Coworkers/managers/leaders largely apathetic, no initiative shown, lack of caring. - Laziness was always rewarded (could be a pro for some people), "Why would I do the work for that? I won't be punished" was verbatim what many people said, and was a common mindset. - Most managers were afraid of confrontation, breeding complacency among the team. - You are often expected to work in unsafe conditions. OSHA was contacted four different times during my two year tenure. - Communication from managers is very well known to be inefficient at best, negligent at worse. - Noncompetitive pay. You could make just as much being a mover. - Team's chemistry knowledge was suboptimal; many were clueless, leaving many projects to more experienced people (I felt taken advantage of). This was not the team's fault at all, but a problem with training and job requirements (which goes back to noncompetitive pay). - Mountains of bureaucracy and empty promises. - They only care if you quit.
