Pros

Customer service and free rental car.

Cons

Literally as a Location Manager at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport you make $450 a week after taxes, working between 12 to 14 hours a day, sometimes just one day off a week, that's LESS than the minimum wage, also you have to clean 15-20 cars everyday and on top of that you never have time for lunch breaks. I wonder how does the upper management expect from the location managers perform their job right without any meal during their 12/14hrs shift. I'm TOTALLY serious about this. Bonuses never happen. They really take advantage from managers at this location, maybe other locations are different, also poor working conditions, no work and life balance. It's not worth it.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
