Pros
Pros are diminishing every year. Pay and Benefits used to be great, but not true any more.
Cons
Senior Leadership. Cuts, cuts, cuts. Command by fear used to be the only real issue, now leadership has added demoralization by title reduction and workload increase through staff cuts. The departments that do the least work came out on top while Operations continues to take the brunt of the abuse. Morale is so low and the workloads so immense, that service has declined severely and continues to do so. MRV's are dropping $5,000 - $50,000 due to the title changes. The thankless jobs used to be well compensated, but the current structure is driving the best people away from those jobs and into positions that have better hours of service and time off.
