Pros

Excellent pay and respect from the industry and your peers. Delicious Mexican food. If you like being isolated in the middle of nowhere, this is your place.

Cons

Soul-crushing work-life imbalance. Horrible man-child management with no experience. No accountability anywhere. Toxic culture -- how toxic? Agent Orange. Dioxin. Cyanide.

Advice to Management

How about hiring real managers with experience?

How about building a healthy culture?

Maybe some professionalism? From professionals? Not engineers who climbed the ladder to get to the top and are horrible managers.
