Pros

It depends on the group you get placed into. There are many good leaders and managers scattered around the organization. If you are fortunate enough to work with these individuals, do what you can to learn from them. There are tons to be learned and most people see this organization as a stepping stone to further their careers. It is true, in that respect, but it's up to the individual to be proactive, learn, and to fight to earn what's deserving to him/her.

Cons

Most people gripe about it, but the salary is subpar compared to SSC' competitors in the industry. Also, it can be frustrating when dealing with less-than-motivated colleagues and excess amounts of overtime.
