Pros

Large company with opportunities for advancement and relatively low-cost health insurance. Diverse employees from different cultures. Stable with diverse portfolio of industries which help with flucuations in the market.

Cons

Large company and clear vision not usually apparent. Can get lost in it's enormity. Not the best paying large company in Mpls/St. Paul and surrounding area. Poor middle managers.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
