Pros

Pay is on the higher side for entry level positions. "Trusted" with an elevated level of responsibility. On-call Pay incentive

Cons

Management discipline will bring the hammer down on all even if few need attention. Unclear communication and too many internal systems. Disconnect between departments and selective backing from management when issues arise.
