Pros

Strict structure if you are into that The pay was salaried, but you have the perks of leaving at 4:30 Good location

Cons

I worked as a scientist, and it was impossible to exceed expectations. Your job was to do science without any errors. If you committed an error, you got strikes against your raises/bonuses. If you were perfect, you 'met expectations'. science in general has a glass ceiling. Don't expect a masters degree to get you more than a $2/hr increase over your peers.

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
