Pros

Can be interesting work, some good people to work with.

Cons

Training mediocre; no opportunity to advance; low pay compared to other outfits; awful deployment conditions, with lower pay than most considering the effort and risk involved; management at the avionics technician level holds grudges , leadership is by intimidation, with a revolving door of technicians.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
