Pros

The union staff was down to earth. The older guys do their work and can joke with you, too. I still see the guys on the street, in the trucks, working in the hole and I will say hello. Again great people. The management on the other hand ........ see below

Cons

Navigating the management, supervisors, directors, VPs, etc members of the company (yes I was a part of that description) is where things got tricky. It requires sucking up to fit in. Noooo thank you. There are people who should have been promoted that didn't. There are people in roles that you wonder "how'd they get that job?" There are many people who left the company because they never got the promotion they deserved.

Pros

Easy work guaranteed 40 hours a week great benefits no lay offs pension 457 or 401k paid sick days holidays and vacation days

Cons

You get penalized for using sick days to easy to lose progressions in the summer time the higher up have less work so they micromanage everything you do new rules are constantly being added it’s not a real union the union works for Pgw so it’s a conflict of interest when it comes time for them to defend you the company always puts the blame on you if they can never find a conclusive answer to a problem
