Business Outlook
Pros
It’s government work. There’s job security in, at least that is until the government decides to shutdown then you must show up to work without receiving a paycheck because you’re considered an essential employee.
Cons
Our union, NATCA, doesn’t fight hard enough on negotiating for a better contract with equitable pay for the line of work we do and the stresses and pressure that come along with the profession. Also, the agency has been understaffed for years, thus forcing mandatory overtime throughout the years causing controller burnout.
