Very poor networking opportunity. You are out there in the rural area that it is difficult to network with others. Very operations oriented work that it can get monotonous after sometime.

Cons

-Pay could be better given industry strandard. -Depending on your department lots of after hours working during projects outside the regular job duties. -Referencing the aforementioned con, work/life balance can be poor during projects.
