- lots of responsibility - good pay - opportunities to take on new tasks and develop weak skills

Cons

- long hours - overwork (people come and go so much and their tasks need to be completed) - very little recognition for extra work - reactive environment (always putting out a major fire) - very poor communication between teams - no dental insurance for central office employees (dental discount program is offered though)
