Pros

The health plan is great. The training opportunities are great. If you are a self-starter and competent, and meet your deadlines, you are not micro-managed.

Cons

Since we are international, sometimes it is hard to communicate with your teammates that live out of the country. No pension plan.

Pros

Exciting projects, lots of career opportunities, very stable job.

Cons

Promotions are almost never given out, you have to apply for a different job in order to have a chance. Re-organizations happen frequently.

Pros

Overall, the benefits are great. They provide full medical, dental, and vision for my entire family at absolutey no cost to me. SInce the center is open 24x7, once you gain enough seniority, the schedules are very flexible. The pay is decent for only requiring a high-school diploma. You start out low, but if you stick with it and put your time in, you can easily make 35k-40k yearly (depending on overtime).

Cons

The first few years are horrible. Scheduling is based on seniority so you pretty much have to work the crap hours and every weekend for years. The supervisors are not all on the same page. What is acceptable for one is not acceptable for another. There is a lot of favoritism. There is pretty much forced overtime every summer of a mandatory 6 day work schedule. Also, there is almost no room for advancement for the company in this area. If you wanted to move up in the company, look to move outside of the state. The union is really weak so not much gets accomplished on that end. The office has a lot of gossip-mongers, also.
