Great Pay, Good People, Lots of Overtime

Pros

Compensation including salary and benefits was great in the area I worked. The co-workers and work environment was friendly and there was rarely an issue. Opportunities to work from home were available.

Cons

Overtime is required and at times in large quantities. After awhile the amount of hours your are required to work can wear you down emotionally and physically. Interdepartmental communication is poor at best. A good starter job, but unless you make your way up the ranks this jobs can wear you out.
