Pros

Benefits are pretty good and the 401k are great, pretty decent about of vacation and it would take an act of Congress to get fired out here.

Cons

Hours, work-life balance, it's a sauna in that place and in the middle of summer they make you wear thick long sleeve uniforms that have to be buttoned completely. It's August in Alabama, we have people passing out, literally. They run a 27/7 cycle unless you are an engineer of management, then it's banker hours, so if something goes wrong there's nobody to make the tough call and if you make the wrong call, it's your fault.

Pros

Lots of low hanging fruit if you are willing to see things through and challenge the system. If your goal is to make a difference, you definitely can, you just have to be patient.

Cons

Typical frustration with bureaucratic norms and practices. Things take two, three or four times longer than they should.
