Pros

Travel benes. Health insurance benes. Life insurance benes. Co-workers from different backgrounds. Maybe some scheduling flexibility depending on the city where you work.

Cons

Seniority is everything and performance doesn't matter much. Your weekends and holidays will be spent working for a long time.

Pros

It's a paycheck. It's not like a real job in alot of ways. Flexible work schedules.

Cons

The job is very physical with alot of on the job injuries. The pay is not enough for the physical tool it takes on a person body or self esteem. The management really does not weed out employees that can't or more often do his or her job. There needs to be more accountabiity on all levels within the company.

Pros

Travel Easy job if you are in HQ Great work/life balance. They can't afford laptops so you really don't bring work home with you.

Cons

Not very professional managers. Very low skill level with zero leadership training. Middle management doesn't do much to develop employees. Managers are simply Sr Analysts with bigger cubes. Most nepotistic place I've worked. If you have a good degree or MBA, go somewhere to really learn about business.
