Pros

Decent pay and good benefits. Same commute every day and you know what to expect each day. Little stress. Regular work hours. Get to experience new leading edge equipment and occasionally get to work on it.

Cons

Frustratingly difficult to actually do work you are trained to do - therefore, skill loss takes place. Management while getting better, often times seems incompetent and fears of affecting production makes most fearful of doing any proactive work. Most work with any risk associated to it goes out to contractors who then assume the responsibilities. Pay is Inconsistent among like workers and less experienced employees are often payed similar to those with 20 years experience.

Pros

Great place to learn and grow

Cons

No pay scale. They need to have a starting rate of pay for all techs from tech to staff tech. As it is now a principal tech can make less than a new hire. We train people that make more than us and are lower ranking. Why have a ranking system if no pay scale?? No reward for hard work
