Pros

Paid overtime, co-workers, clean office. Not really that many other pros I can think of, but this thing wants me to put at least 20 words here. So there!

Cons

Pay, benefits, bosses/supervisors say they care about you but really don’t, open work environment, old computers (no laptops), supervisors will lie directly to your face

Pros

Opportunity to learn different trades. Great way to learn from super smart technicians and operation supervisors. Great way to network with NASA, engineers and contractors.

Cons

Job is super stagnant. No growth unless you are hired as a manager or promoted to manager. Little to no team culture. No sense of urgency. Not impressed by salary with amount of work given. Management does not hire the right people for PM roles. Management does not fire horrible PMs. Management is in denial when company is not doing well.
