Pros

Decent benefits and good pay (particularly for the local area around Kennedy Space Center); generous vacation days and holidays.

Cons

The excitement of launching space shuttles is gone. Until this company gets more business there is not much left to do after decommissioning the space shuttle orbiters. There doesn't seem to be much future for USA.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at the epicenter of human space flight is one of the most interesting jobs you could have as it allows you to feel as if you are really contributing science and exploration. The people are friendly and management is approachable and listens to your concerns. There can be long hours but you are typically compensated with additional time off in other weeks.

Cons

Layoffs and government downsizing of the human space flight program have devastated employee morale with no real light at the end of the tunnel. Benefit cost increases, salary and promotion freezes, and future uncertainty also contribute heavily to what is a very dark period for the company, if it continues to even exist.
