Pros

Pays well but a LOT of hours to earn it

Cons

USMO Planning has a very high turnover. For a reason. While working here I was constantly putting in 11-12 hour days + time on the weekend. It was not enough. Management would listen to concerns about workload sympathetically but nothing ever changed. Whenever something comes up that you were not able to get to you get the speech about how critical the TPP report was and and must be done on time all the time. All this at the end of a 60 hour week. In a department with 4 employees, non had been there more that a two years. It's just not sustainable. After a year of hearing how things are going to change (but don't) people just burn out, leave, or are fired. You will hear excuses about how it was their fault but who hired them? How can every employee be bad?
