Pros

I visited a great deal of the western hemisphere. I learned how a casino is run and how to deal with every imaginable disaster, whether caused naturally or through corporate incompetence. I worked with a great deal of independance. Some of the hardest working employees anywhere. They work miracles with little resource, low morale, and little opportunities for advancement or pay raises.

Cons

No training on proprietary software or tech. You learn to swim by being thrown to the sharks. Communication is horrible. Management will lie to keep you there and then throw you under the bus if you present evidence of their dishonesty. Customers are angry due to missed deadlines and poorly functioning product. They are being ignored. LasEmployees are jumping ship. Everyone is underpaid. Reviews are meaningless.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
