Pros

ARA provides relevant work experience, and their benefits are fairly competitive.

Cons

Applied Research in Panama City has several unethical business practices. In my time there, there were clear gender, race, and religion based hierarchies that reflected themselves in payroll for the technical staff. Further, worker safety was neglected since proper equipment and practices were deemed too expensive. Management routinely turns a blind eye to unethical behavior if it benefits the bottom line.

Pros

Great health insurance and benefits

Cons

Inability to advance financially, Program Managers are inept and unsupportive so you have to take matters in your own hands to get answers to any questions
