Pros

Field people are well supported and cared about.

Cons

Not all management walks their talk. Old values can be good, but failure to adapt to new technology and new ways can also lead to stodgy feel within the organization.

Good employer.

Pros

Hires older, experienced personnel. Strong emphasis on safety. With a government assignment, the work load is not overly intense.

Cons

Pay and benefits tend to be less than that in heavy manufacturing. Not much opportunity for promotion or advancement for older personnel.

Pros

Very interesting work environment and great co-workers; people who truly care about the work that they do.

Cons

There is no career path for engineers. Treatment toward employees are terrible. No job safety at all, even if you are the best at your job. You could have a job today and get laid off the next.
