Pros

Not many to mention here

Cons

Never home. Terrible pay. Management expects unrealistic outcomes on projects. You will become a "jack of all trades" and be doing 4 different jobs for the pay of hardly one. Zero organization. Many periods throughout year with low amounts of work and also periods of work 7 days a week for months straight. Safety department watches your everymove. They will lie to you about almost everything that you will be doing for them. Rule of thumb to use is 1/16th of what they promise you will become reality.

Pros

Variety of projects and latest technology and software.

Cons

Equity investor ownership means all that matters is profits. Negotiate the highest salary possible. Be wary of offer that includes a bonus as investors and senior leaders get their bonuses before anyone else. Offices in other states and regions frequently go into neighboring states and regions to get their sales. Runs more like a bunch of individual companies than one cohesive unit.
