Pros

The opportunity to learn how to run a business and the advancement opportunity is great. Fortune 500 company so if you post on a resume that you did their program for even a year would look very good. Get to drive nice cars. Meet a lot of interesting people. Overall good opportunity for a recent grad with a liberal arts or business degree.

Cons

Clean cars. Very long hours 55+ Average weekly pay about $500 after taxes for 55 to 60 hours of work. Management will place you anywhere depending on their needs. Angry customers at the counter always complaining about something. Customers don't treat you well. Very dirty offices with old and slow computers.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
