How do your salaries and benefits stack up against the competition?
We consistently offer competitive salaries, and you would be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive benefits package. We also offer different levels of benefits so you have some flexibility in how much or how little coverage you want. Additionally, our retirement plans offer a key benefit. You’re not locked into a fixed account. When you decide it’s time to leave, you can take your retirement with you.

What does it mean to work under a bargaining agreement?
A number of our business units are represented by a bargaining group. You will have the option whether or not you would like to join the group, but depending up on the position you take, you will be automatically represented. That simply means that the bargaining group negotiates your bonuses, raises and benefits packages on your behalf.
