Pros

schedule 15/6. pretty tough in the beginning. lots of hours and little break. but u will learn a lot and u will learn fast

Cons

100+ hours per weeks. becuase u are on the salary so there is no overtime. no weekend off so ur offdays are on the random days.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
