Pros

In the field of Air Traffic Control (and if you have what it takes) - this is a rewarding career with competitive salaries, rapid pay raises (first 3 years of training), great benefits and management opportunities for those that show dedication and desire to do more.

Cons

Pay decreases if you decide to go "up the ladder" into management. Affirmative action can be a challenge for some - a benefit for others.

Pros

Job security, extremely fun job, great salary, great union, and great benefits.

Cons

Training is long and stressful, hours are hard at times, you work all holidays, the job itself is stressful, rule changes from law makers who know nothing of what you do.
