Pros
Fast Pace and Large Scope Constantly Evolving Business Open Door Policy Endless resources, tools and training materials to assist Non Union If you want something and chase it while working well with others, it is likely within reach
Cons
Absolutely Survival of the fittest, don't expect hand holding You will have to earn your keep on a less than desirable shift, but your time will eventually come if you perform consistently Depending on the location, internal politics that protect the "fake it to make it crew". Eventually it comes out in the wash and performance is the only indicator of success Performance review process is very deliberate, and you can expect at least 1 manager at every level to receive additional scrutiny to work on identified opportunities. Failure to improve will likely lead to them being shown the door. This is where first time managers or those with a slower learning curve can fall behind early.
