      Pros

      Varied electronics, mechanical, electrical, HVAC work. You get to be a jack of all trades and they have lots of schools to attend in Oklahoma city. A new hire ATSS can expect to top out at $60K/yr after the first two years. Work sites all over the country. Initial training is mandatory, even if you're in the industry already or are coming out of the military. The use of a government vehicle (GSA leased) is part of the work arrangement.

      Cons

      Some sites are located in remote areas that require loads of driving to get to. There are two kinds of techs in this group: the sites techs who travel a lot to get to their sites, and techs who don't have to travel. Pay scale is not WG or GS, it's something called "core comp", which has pay "bands" that roughly correspond to GS9 to GS11+, but doesn't really include the "steps" that normal GS/WG pay scales have.

      Pros

      If you are lazy and want to sit at your desk all day and do nothing but get paid... this is for you!

      Cons

      Too many "older" employees who are not open to learning new and useful technology. WAY WAY WAY behind from the rest of the world. And if you are young, they automatically dismiss you , your opinions, they refuse to learn anything new. It's so sad

      Pros

      great benefits, job security, constant training that will stack your resume (i've spent most of my first year in OKC training).

      Cons

      pay could be a bit better. managers need to screen applicants better...i have more experience in my field and started at the lowest of the low, while people who have never done electronic tech type of work, started significantly higher. Also, I've had friends who told me straight up that they didnt have an interview process or anything; were just given the job due to veterans preference. You'll spend most of your first 3 years traveling back and forth to Oklahoma City for training. if traveling or being away from your family is a con, then that's a con. there's little room for moving up the ladder...theres only 3 pay scales (F-G-H), unless you want to become a coordinator, manager, or instructor in Oklahoma.
