Pros

Fitness center is quite nice Diversified businesses beyond simply commodities International interactions - can work with people from around the world Interesting work with lots of variety Ethical

Cons

Employees, especially those with experience, are undervalued Short term money saving metrics more important than developing skills of team members Certain leaders more interested in own internal networking and managing up than in team they are to be leading and supporting Benefits are being cut left and right, some cuts are not being communicated clearly. Ageism

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!
