Pros

-Good way to start your career.If you need to get a foot in the industry and get your licenses, this may be a good first step. -Stable job. -Good overall culture. -Manageable work life balance. -Overtime payment.

Cons

-Once you are in there is no growth in career and personal growth -Minimal (0 to maybe 3k max) to no pay raise each year even if you work hard. Even if you get more licenses and certifications. If you want a promotion you have to participate in office politics. -Bonus is Flat % that in the same rank gets. Standard deviation is about +/- 0.5%, They make a huge profit and only give as high as 1 month pay as bonus. -Performance reviews do nothing and wont help. Managers will always under score you. -Lack of transparency.They provide zero direction and guidance. Expect you to learn on your own. Even on how to their systems -High turnover rate. You will see coworkers leave for a higher paying job after 1-2 years if they don't get a promotion. Those that stay are most likely there because they are happy with the salary.

Pros

Laid back culture with no accountability or expectation for any kind of value add, you can cruise your way if you are content with a pay that's decent and want a role with no stress and accountability

Cons

Management that's destroying working culture by displaying zero sense of accountability to the worsening executional ability and single focus to show men in bad light. Management folks don't understand the new generation and shift on style of working and are least bothered about attracting and retaining good competent people.
