Pros

Lots of training in quality. Not so much practice. If they need you they pay well.

Cons

Every month the screws get tighter. Less vacation, fewer benefits, endless ways to chop nickles and dimes out of your total compensation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, additional opportunities, Lean, safe work environment

Cons

Work never stops Goals are set so high, you are meant not to hit them Unless you are a "high potential" there is no clear path for advancement - and it is largely based on your individual manager as to how well you can do here.
