Pros

Tucson is a great place to live, but unfortunately not many alternative, reasonably well-paying jobs (Once you get here and fall in love with the community, it's tough to stay due to lack of professional opportunities...) Competent, albeit generally scared co-workers who see that everyone is in the same dire straits at the prison-like Rain Bird facility, and thus always looking for a job "on the outside" Air conditioned building (important in 100+ degree heat!) and free, but uncovered parking.

Cons

Incredibly twisted, demented and unhealthy culture - Senior Management is not only disinterested in having a decent quality of life for themselves and their own families, but they feel compelled to make their employees equally (or more) miserable - such a sad, sad environment... Although the >40% annual turnover is tough to believe, it aligns well with corporate philosophy of squeezing as much as possible out of new employees and then simply kicking them to the curb once they're broken down and defeated, and often after they have left behind fairly decent situations in other parts of the country. Rampant paranoia is evident from the very top and throughout SBU leadership - I've never seen a place that not only hates its channel partners (i.e., distributors) but has obvious disgust for its employees, the very people who are simply trying to help the company succeed, or at least survive.

Pros

They pay pretty good. The heath insurance is good. The dental insurance is good.

Cons

They (boss) treat you like crap. You get paid for 40 hour week, but they expect double or more. When someone get's fired, laid off, or leave, they don't get replacement very quick. You just get to add their job to yours. You see employees leaving monthly. Lots of turnover. They don't reward success. It negative base driven job. Everyone seems to hate their job there and talks about how they are looking for other jobs! They are good at telling you how bad you are, but not how to improve
