Pros

Paid well with locality included Set path for career growth inside company Opportunities to learn and become Subject Matter Expert in whatever you are interested in Built in class schedules to get you up to speed and qualified Opportunities to travel internationally

Cons

Most people love using the term 'oversight' to allow them to stop work and not be responsible to help get it back on track. Heavy reliability on Engineering Department to do anything. Production shops are supposed to have trained Journeymen and Masters but most are too afraid to apply their knowledge. While career growth is black and white on all the corporate documentation, often people are held back without good explanation or reason. Causes high turn-around rate.
