Pros

Good pay & good benefits. They supply the uniforms & have them washed for you. They pay for your safety shoes & safety glasses.

Cons

Very irregular working hours, can't have a stable life outside of the job. They expect you to keep switching from days to nights every week, and rotate what days & nights you work every week! Not a reliable schedule system if you have a family or anything else going on outside of work. Forget about trying to transfer to another department unless you are good friends with the dept lead you want to get into. You're pretty much forced to watch & listen to ONLY the sports channel if you want to eat or take a break in the lunch room, gets pretty old after a while. The training system is a joke, shortly after your hired & learned a few things, you then have to start training the new hires.

Pros

At Vestas I had great colleagues and generally a good work atmosphere despite cost pressure and relocation rumors. Windpower is a great business to be in, turbines are a great product. Vestas has a great benefits package, hands down. It just seems right to work in the renewable energy sector and I was always proud to explain where I worked.

Cons

Management does not operate very professionally when it comes to coaching and developing leadership. Work -life balance is substandard. Volatile market environment.
