Pros

It's a great stepping stone to a better job. You get most of the experience's you need for other employment. If you want to pay off your student loans this may be the place to be for you.

Cons

If you want to move up in the company do something wrong, and get in trouble. You will get promoted. If you do your job right, expect to stay where you are. Don't expect much when it comes to raises....maybe 3-4% If you get promoted, expect to get payed for your promotion years later. REALLY. They don't want to pay for your promotion, even though you hold a new title in the company. Watch your pay, and there fuzzy math when on deployment.

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
