You get hands on experience forecasting weather for all over the United States. It is nice to work in an environment that is friendly most of the time. Most people there tend to enjoy looking at weather and passion for forecasting big storms is encouraged.
Cons
There is little to no opportunities to move up and the management is just ok. They allow for some scheduling to occur so that people can take vacations, however sometimes that ends up causing the employee that is filling in to go from working midnight shifts for 4 days, one day break, then go to day shifts (8 am). This is difficult on the body.
Lots of great, dedicated people. Good location in a nice town. Having to forecast for a diverse range of clients in several geographic regions offers a great way to pick up experience across North America.
Cons
Incredible turnover rate...Combination of long stretches of work days (worked 15 out of 16 days during one stretch), and aggressive rotating shifts inevitably burn people out. Some clients unreasonable. Lousy health and dental insurance. Pay is barely enough to meet basic expenses, even for a single 22 year old guy in a relatively cheap place to live.
