Pros

A well run upstanding company concerned with the safety, the environment, a free and fair workplace, and working towards growth by re-investing in the company and in the needed maintenance of updates of the system. For someone in IT there is a wide variety of systems, software, challenges and engrossing problems. Because of the real-world nature of the problems that we work on, and the necessity for detailed planning and careful operations, it's almost as thrilling and exacting as being back in the military. The potential for disaster is great and the qualtity of the work is therefore very important.

Cons

Lots of travel - 24/7 -
