Pros

Great Benefits, job security. Exciting, fast paced, high stress! Overall the majority of co-workers are type A personalities. Highly driven to succeed and willing to prove they are right all the time.

Cons

24/7 work schedule...Holidays with the Family forget about for 10 years, Overall the majority of co-workers are type A personalities. Highly driven to succeed and willing to prove they are right all the time. Not a job for people with meek personalities.
