Pros

If you are a superstar employee and willing to relocate many times you will go far. The development oppertunities are excellent, but you have to be a self starter to reap the benefits. They are reasonable with time off to establish a work life balance, but to grow it will be easier to be single.

Cons

Everything is heard through the rumor mill, mamgement can be a bit condensending. Some leadership people are awsome while others are horrible.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
