Pros

The pay is fairly decent for the area. The amount of equipment and procedures used/performed here allow employees to learn a broad array of techniques in a heavily regulated environment.

Cons

There is very poor morale and work-life balance among almost all levels of employment here. Shifts are always longer than anticipated and stress and fatigue are pervasive. The amount of auxiliary tasks expected from technicians is constantly expanding while management shrinks from the picture. In any given day, managers won't have so much as stepped foot into the building they are supposed to be managing, resulting in technicians operating in a blind-leading-the-blind work force.
