Pros

Pay is good, especially for the area. Freedom to work the job how you want to work it. Local travel is near daily. Support systems everywhere.

Cons

Training is sub-par; I have spent months in training where they just read material to you. This is incredibly unhelpful when applying to real-world scenarios. A trainer is provided, but experience does not equal ability to teach. Unrealistic deadlines that seem easy for seasoned employees create absolute chaos for newer hires. Incredibly inefficient.

Pros

It's lost a lot of the perks that drew me in the first place. The floor level people are very supportive of one another. But that's human nature.

Cons

The management is, in a reciprocation of the trope, an 'old girls club.' The criteria for those that want to get in is to 'not be threatening or easily controlled'. Everyone else is either forced out through the coordinated gatekeeping of the club, or waited out as most of the management is a temporary assignment. For the past two years I've been promised help and guidance, and I receive none. It's hard to be willing to help on special assignments when I'm punished for doing them in the first place.
