Pros

Industry-leading tech

Strong knowledge base

Decent pay

Cons
  • OSHA violations everywhere.
  • ERT team failed to respond to toxic lead fire (caused by technician negligence) for over four hours. All were conveniently out of town!
  • Rarely use lockout/tagout.
  • Mismanagement of toxic gases and of toxic waste, exposing employees and the air of the town regularly to hazardous materials.
  • Zero training infrastructure.
  • Extremely toxic coworkers: derogatory, misogynistic, spiteful, and egotistical.
  • Any well-intentioned manager will be shot down by a network.
  • Racism rampant, institutional even. Barely any women in technical roles.
Advice to Management

The nepotism is insane and will destroy the Gloucester infrastructure.
