Pros

Lots of hours, great pay as a contractor due to all the over time.

Cons

Management doesn't really interact with individual technicians, worked there for a whole year and saw the Manager of my department at least 3 times a week and he had no idea who I was or anyone except people that had been there for decades.

Pros

The technologists who work there have been world class

Cons

Extreme politics, inept Executive Management (prior to VSEA take-over) Employee morale has been low for some time, and does not appear to get better.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my co-workers.

Cons

A lack of career development. Poor mentoring and coaching from management. Managers are always worried about losing their job and are reluctant to train their employees.
