Pros

Learn and gain experience faster than working at a local branch, better opportunity to grow career or maybe gain visibility at the region level

Cons

If you work at a large city airport, expect 10-12 hour days constantly having to find someone to cover callouts or doing it yourself. Dealing with Karen's all day In a day you might yelled at, drive to the airport, clean a car, handle complaints, spend 3 hours on Excel or PowerPoint, or run a mornin meeting It can be a very thankless job

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
