Pros

Amazing training facilities, standard expectation to not break regulations and work ethically

Cons

Just undergone massive restructures and removed a lot of support staff leaving field staff to carry a heavier load. Poor work/life balance, pay less than the rest of the industry but very high expectations for call rates and after hours work, annual leave constraints and travel out of work hours. I was working 50-60 hour weeks and this still wasnt enough. A lot of politics in management and it seemed people were promoted and rewarded based on their links not skill. Upper management would often contradict important statements they had made.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
