Pros

The compensation was great and there were tons of opportunities globally with this company. I received a raise within six months of working there.

Cons

The hours were extensive. I went three weeks without an off day. And this was not during a special time or anything. We were just understaffed. Many of the managers did not seem to have a personal life.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
