Pros

The people I interact with are supportive, professional, respectful, and intelligent. They also care about the work they do and our collective success. It may be the startup environment (my first) but this is a Team that works very well with each other. I am challenged with both workload and complexity and find it stimulating and enjoyable. Good managers can make or break a job and I don't think I could have a better manager. I spent most of my working life with large, public corporations. This is a huge breath of fresh air for me. I love the culture, teamwork and wish I had been here sooner!

Cons

Anyone familiar with the area knows that the traffic is bad and the cost of living high. Other than location, there aren't any cons worth mentioning.

Pros

Lots of overtime Free snacks

Cons

Technicians are rewarded for working efficiently with additional work assignments. "Senior" technicians do the same work as entry level techs, while getting paid twice as much. Last minute travel with many adhoc extensions, sometimes keeping you away from home for multiple weeks Unfair and dishonest supervisors who will quickly throw you under the bus for a pat on the back Unsafe practices in the field Inflexible work hours and schedule This is the type of job where you are expected to be working 100% of the time, even if you complete your assigned job duties. You will be pawned off to another department for the day to ensure you don't get a break. Last time I checked, running a computer at full capacity will cause components to heat up and burn out, resulting in an unsustainable system. The same goes for humans working in a business.
