Pros

It is a safe company to work for. They dont take risks and do anything to avoid losses. Employees dont feel empowered and their hiring practices are very questionable.

Cons

The culture is so 1970's! They rely on a couple of hot shots to deliver without concentrating on the rest of the team. The company does not pay well to entry level employees or non MBAs. There are hardly any support groups within the company and HR is absolutely horrible. A good example would be that they JUST established a HR diversity team!

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
