Pros

401 K and benefit programs are good

Cons

First venture with FBO operations, and learning the complexity of on demand 24/7 operations instead of bid activity or contracts.

Pros

The projects are extremely exciting, being either aerospace or other-transportation related. Small company allows for enriching and rewarding work soon out of college. Weekly hours are typically under 50 hours with flexibility of work-life balance.

Cons

Because it is a small company without a business plan with expansion, there are fewer opportunities to grow your career than at other larger or more successful companies. Same is true for salary, I was able to immediately increase my salary almost 20% at my next employer. There is also a lack of engineering expertise - this was noted to me by employees who had worked at large defense contractors and not realized by me until I left for a major healthcare R&D organization.
