Pros

The actual company is good to its staff. Working on the airforce base is restricted to 6am to 6pm and weekdays only. So no "surprise" overtime.

Cons

Work was on an airforce base, and military and civilian gov workers can be abusive. Worse, if they're having a bad day, or skittish about defense budget cuts, your job can be "defunded" at the drop of a hat.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
