Pros

Most exciting job in the world. Fast paced and full of the most advanced technologies out there. Great pay and benefits. If you have what it takes, there's nothing else like it.

Cons

Schedules can be a bit difficult, especially until you raise your seniority number since most larger facilities are 365/24/7. And training is long and arduous. But otherwise, it's a career for life.

Pros

Great co-workers for the most part, most are ex military. Good but not great benefits (401K matched to only 5%) but also a retirement. Lots of room for advancement if you don't mind relocating. Pay is good but not great unless you are a controller or have been in for a while. Engineers don't engineer so they are paid appropriately they more or less manage contractors.

Cons

Terrible managers, Dunning–Kruger effect is in full gear in the FAA. I had seen where other reviews pointed out poor leadership caused by people being promoted due to poor performance. I would agree with that reviewer especially in the Central Service Area. I can not speak to other service areas.
