Pros

If you devote your whole life to the job you can move up quickly. If there's a natural disaster or inclement weather they'll find a place to stay close to the unit for you to stay.

Cons

There's absolutely no work life balance. You're expected be on call 24/7. You work a 6 and 2 rotation and around holidays you work even more. You have to work every holiday. Upper management is not truly "qualified." It's just people who stayed through all the horrible times. There is absolutely no accountability and a lack of structure.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
