Pros

Fair to people with no discrimination seen, Nice people to work with. Learn a ton of new things

Cons

While there is good advancement for some, I have done my job well and a leader/trainer in my field yet watched others who have no knowledge in my field get promoted while I stagnate even when I am confident I did a better job for years leading the team even with no direct reports. Well time to relax and take my time now. Very sad about it, I may leave soon because of it.

Pros

Decent wage, benefits and work life balance

Cons

Sometimes a negative atmosphere, stressful. Politics and favouritism play a role here. It depends. Some bosses are great, some not so much.
