Pros

Good pay for my age, came in young making a decent salary, couldn't argue that with my new born.

Cons

- Standard 2% "Raise" annually, no matter what your senior manager promises to bump your pay to and "take care of you" for taking over a new department. -On Call responsibilities, every other week was a joke, saw my family for a couple hours a week at best as i was REQUIRED to work a MINIMUM of 65 hours each week outside of my on call responsibilities, my manager actually congratulated me on my first 150 hour paycheck, told me it showed how much of a good employee i was for picking up the slack. overtime was the only way to make any real money at this company with the dinky salary that was offered. -Got pulled into a meeting with my senior management staff and was told that because of my lack of focus and drive (wife had gotten job and i had cut my hours down to only 45 a week and regular on call duties) if i want a job i either have to decide that my employment is more important of that my family will take precedence, i chose the latter and immediately got moved from the department i had built from the ground up only to be expected to run my new position and still carry the other five employees in my old department. definitely an eye opener as to what really is important in a job.

Pros

High pay (per the field average), and great benefits.

Cons

Management had no time or desire to correctly train new employees, and expected to work over 60 hours a week. Promise one thing deliver on another. avoid this job if you want to see your family / have a life.

Pros

In theory, you should get a lot of days off. The benefits are decent as well. A lot of expectation and rightfully so when it comes to safety. Fellow communications specialists will also go to great lengths in helping new people learn the ins and outs of the job.

Cons

Being on call for most of your days off and expecting to get called in for most of them. Constant turnover means you're always going to be filling in, and there's little incentive or initiative for anyone to get creative in regards to working around it. In addition, there's a lot of extra time you're expected to commit to the job outside of work, creating a negative work/life balance. Pay is okay but not special. 12 hour days are difficult. No shift differential for working overnights.
