It always Depends on leadership
Pros
Some of the best people I've ever worked with were in my shop. I learned everything from technical skills to life skills from my NCOs
Cons
It depended heavily on leadership I had that was CONSTANTLY changing. I know that's just how the Army works where you spend your time in positions to then move to another position, but this lead to issues. I was stuck at the same unit for 5 years straight. I had everything from a NCOIC (manager level essentially) who was a GOD among men when it came to all things Signal wise. Radios, Satellites, Computers, Routers. Didn't matter, he wanted to be next to all of us to learn and teach us. On the other side of that coin I had NCOICs who were never to be found by anyone. People who left their soldiers to pick up all the pieces and realize they lied about them, their character, and who they are daily.
