Pros

You'll learn a lot about the fundamentals of hardware failure, firmware troubleshooting, and, data recovery as well as work cost loss prevention. In the beginning you are provided ampule training so that you may hit the grounds on a good note. Great team members and managers, and overall work culture.

Cons

The flow of work you knew one week could change the next week. At times adaptably to weekly changing trainings does keep you on your toes. However, understandably it was necessary to try out new work flow systems to improve overall underlining issues along with providing efficiency.
