Pros

So long as the worker is competent and reasonably educated for the desired position, there is great opportunity to move-up due to the harsh work environment in the Middle East leading to high attrition.

Cons

As stated in the Pros --- working in the Middle East at least 84-hours per week in a war zone can lead to high attrition.

Pros

As opportunities arise, all are given the chance to take on a new role and grow. That being said, the position maybe overseas or in another state. Either way, you are thrown in and you have to just go with it. It was a great learning experience for me. Benefits are good, salaries are decent.

Cons

Prior military hires is the norm for management roles. Unfortunately, they all forget that they are no longer in the military and have a hard time getting acclimated to private industry and grasping the fact that respect is earned not given. Mgmt is very competent, but sometimes like to take shortcuts rather than follow what's right and fair.
