Pros

Health benefits and stock plans are good. Very stable company even in this economy. Salary and bonus structure is decent.

Cons

no work life balance, very long working hours. career progression is very limited when a position becomes available, they generally hire from outside instead of promoting employees performing well.

Pros

Easy to get in. No prior hard skills needed

Cons

Project Specialists are now called Contract Specialists (As of 2010). I felt I was deceived of the whole Project Management facade. The duties of the Project Coordinators & Project Specialists resemble nothing of real project management. They don't use PM methodology, phases, planning or implementation. The duties are essentially pushing paperwork and profiling tower lease rights which is not transferable to any other industry let alone standard project management
