Pros

The only pro for engineering technicians is job security.

Cons

Culture revolves around creating the appearance that everything is working well. Clueless management at every level. Spineless management at most every level. Micromanagement (depends on the office). Lack of integrity and ethics. Lack of consistency in processes between offices. Low pay doesn't keep up with today's cost of living. Weak raises. Government run. Work to pay ratio are too far out of balance. Behind the curve in technology though they are trying to catch up (at least the Houston district)
