Pros

It might vary depending on the department but the controls department is not the place to be. The only good thing I can say is that scheduling is so bad that no one realizes I'm billing to projects but sitting at home. The schedules themselves are so impossible to achieve that no one cares if they succeeds or fails. If you get it done the next one is worse. If you fail, well someone gets blamed or something. Who knows, it sure doesn't matter since your bonuses are non-existent. Getting fired is no threat in this job market.

Cons

As mentioned earlier the schedules for our big customer are so messed up that you never know when you will be home or called away with a 24 hour notice. We used to be able to travel to the customer as needed but that's all gone. Now you have to get permission from the one manager here to book any travel. The only problem is that he never answers his phone. If you call him out on that he blows up and tells you how he has so many years of experience and you are just learning. That's some great coaching and management techniques. His manager is at least nice but be ready to get micromanaged. Honestly, there isn't a decent manager in this office. I hear the other offices are better but I don't have any experience with their guys. I doubt there is anything that can make up for these schedules.

Pros

Get your experience and go

Cons

There is no work life balance. They expect you to travel at anytime for however long and no relocation bonus. Management will blame everyone else for software issue except themselves. Only real salary increase is through promotion b/c everyone across the board gets 3% raise every year no matter how well you did.
