Pros

Great co-workers (60% are awesome, 30% average, 10% are terrible) Challenging environment Good place to get hands on experience with new skills

Cons

60+ hours/week is a regular expectation Poor salary compared to other employers Directors and management will literally yell and berate people they do not like rather than solve the problem Too much fire-fighting and little long-term prevention of problems Low employee morale

Pros

Very supportive Sr level management team

Cons

There was some crab barrel mentality among peers. I trusted no one with personal information to it being used against me early on. I was so secretive that no one knew what type of vehicle I drove for over 10 yrs.
