Pros

Benefits are unmatched in my opinion except for retirement due to recent changes. Training is available in many forms, instructor led, online and tuition assistance are all very good. Gain solid work experience.

Cons

Employed for 14 years and having served half that time as a craft union employee and the other half as a management employee; The culture is very outdated! The environment demands 50 hours or more per week. Jobs and budget are being constantly reduce while at the same time the workload is increasing. Innovative thinking is treated like a criminal activity. Reorgs are a once or twice a year activity perpetuating constant chaos. Our leadership operates as if this is the 70's and we have unlimited budget, unlimited resources, unlimited time to get things done, and as if we are still the only game in town. There is little too no leadership from senior management in this environment. We are just told what to do and given little to work with.
