Pros
Very excellent pay and benefits- equivalent to most careers requiring a 4 year degree. Excellent amount of vacation/paid days off available. Excellent medical plan. GI-Bill is awesome. There are few truly qualified and hardworking personnel. The facility supervisor was truly a good supervisor, but was unable to both balance his own work and with managing inefficient subordinates- some key superiors above him were toxic.
Cons
Widespread practice of favoritism by senior personnel. Several cliques or "Good old boys" groups exists that made it a toxic environment.Preference to employees that are into alcohol use. An open and unsecure facility, old and worn- roof leaks. Too many unhappy personnel (maybe 70%) with personal problems affecting their professional work- marital problems/infidelity, financial problems/debt issues, heavy alcohol use, family problems, etc.
