Pros

Diversified businesses make the company economically resilient. Constant growth means doors are always opening. Senior management seems consistently compentant on big picture strategy. Strong ethics. This is important. For all our flaws we're not compromising our ethics... ever.

Cons

Human resources does not share business growth goals and does not help hire, retain, compensate talented people. Middle management often lacks basic skills as lack of independant contributor career paths force mid level employees into a management path with no skills. Compensation is pathetic for talented people. If you're not talented, compensation is average to above average.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
