Pros

Job Security Easy to negotiate vacation and sick leave Had good benefits for employees and their families

Cons

No upwards mobility that I could see. It felt that the field I was in was very stagnant with a manager that had little to no clue what he was doing.

Pros

Incredible opportunity continuing the familiar work one performed in the military. If you are prior military, this job is definitely in your alley. Great starting pay, however, because of this, upward mobility is very limited. If you're content starting off with decent pay and benefits, this is a great fit. This position is in an isolated location spending Monday through Thursday nights away from home.

Cons

I can't think of any because this job is really great!
