Pros

If you are new to the field, you WILL learn a ton about mixed mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, component-level, and server maintenance. The technical team was great to work with - very collaborative and willing to help newer technicians learn the ropes. If you are willing to move around the US/world you can make a very strong career in this field. Shift differential helps compensate for working nights and/or evenings.

Cons

Shift work with overnights being very common, a 'corporate' feeling atmosphere despite the technical role, commonly have to work certain holidays, and somewhat limited opportunity for career/pay advancement if you are hoping to stay at one location based on when I worked here. Depending on the day work can be very slow or very fast-paced.

Pros

Diversity of the roles, able to move from one section to another easily and very flexible. Very large and stable company.

Cons

Management are doing their best and are often pretty good. No matter what, everything is a lateral move without a salary increase. From technician to project manager, no salary or salarial band increase. Regularly understaffed and overloaded. Very large and stable company. Senior salaries are now similar to new hired.
