Pros

The organization has very deep pockets, and they provide a good opportunity for knowledge learning. There is tremendous importance placed on ensuring employees have the opportunity for training, both classroom and on-the-job. And cross-functional training is encouraged as well.

Cons

You need to be available 24/7, and the talk about work/life balance is just that - talk. While the training opportunities exist, utilization targets make them almost impossible to take advantage of.

Pros

Diverse environment providing many opportunities if you can tap into the right resources and develop your own internal network

Cons

Endless travel with no concern or support to balancing work / home life. Travel time comes out of your time as with the execessive amount of administration and practice support that is required.
