Pros

Retirement. If you are not laid off you will make more money than most of the managers you deal with.

Cons

The system of management bonuses leads to dishonesty and poor decisions as they all try to shift everything onto someone else's budget. Management is taught to despise the workforce. Taking as little as one day off per month from 24/7 on call makes you a D list employee. Management bonuses are partially based on "catching" people doing something wrong, more dishonesty. You won't be able to work year round for as much as your first ten years.

Pros

A little tough to pick more than a few pros but here goes, benefits, travel, pay, location

Cons

Need to change the transfer policy from two years to a year. They don't care if you have a family, you get talked to if you layoff. Need to find a better system other than the seniority ranking so people can move up in their career field. They need to stop hiring all these new people if they have no where to put the in the service unit

Pros

Decent pay and benifits as long as you can hang on with senority. Retirement is above standard in the least.

Cons

Some of the leadership have zero experience in what we do. Upper management has the expectation of junior management to crack the whip, beat your employees into submission. One of the only industries that they hire you, train you, then try to fire you for the rest of your career.
