Pros

Good way to be introduced to technical writing from a technician standpoint. Hours can be flexible and once you are an employee at GA, you can move around the company.

Cons

Upper management will micro-manage their employees and do not assume responsibility for their blunders. Very little upward mobility unless you are a yes man and higher ranked retired military, skills and knowledge not required. Training is non-existant and you will get multiple ways of doing things from various people in charge.
