Pros

If you're willing to deploy you can make some decent money. Not necessarily any more than other technical fields, but much more than the security industry. Company mostly cares about it's employees, but that's starting to change some as the company grows and becomes more corporate. Decent opportunity to advance quickly if you're willing to continue deploying long term and are mostly good at your job.

Cons

Outside of becoming an instructor and traveling 6 weeks at a time there isn't much opportunity for stateside work unless you're willing to move to California. As a site lead you get bombarded almost daily from home base while deployed and have several weekly meetings that don't seem to truly benefit anyone. Sometimes an email will do just fine. For higher level positions, the company has a tendency to pass over people that have been in the program for a while in lieu of outside hires that have zero operational experience, zero experience on the platform and a resume similar to what already exists within the fleet.

Pros

The money is higher than Academi You don't have to live in California to work for them.

Cons

The company does don't have access to your schedule or the plan for your deployments, you leave short notice every time you deploy (left with a 1+30 min notice to get to the Airport. No plan to get FSR's in or out of your Deployment location. Very unmanaged chaos. HIGH rate of Turnover; typically only get one deployment out of FSR's Logistics for parts and other required items are hard to get, the logistics coordinator is out of touch with what the users need downrange. There is no training site location locked down after more than 3 years of operating and training the students.
