Pros

You get a lot of exposure to new aerospace and defense technologies. Also, the ability to earn compensatory time (comp time) for any overtime that you work is great because you can either get time off for those extra hours that you earn, or have it paid to you at the end of the year.

Cons

Being in the aerospace/defense industry, there are a lot of hoops to jump through and paperwork to fill out just to get something accomplished. This tends to get frustrating after awhile. Also, the pay is below average compared to similar companies.
