Pros

Good resources and access to info. Majority are good people. Decent benefits. Nationwide. Good place for engineers

Cons

Terrible work/life balance. Worked at some level 7 days a week, even on vacations and days off with little compensation. Very few raises outside of the consistent 2%-3% annual 'cost of living adjustment'. Top heavy in management and very protective of their high-end salaries, company profitability and the protected class of principals and engineers. Very high expectations for technician responsibilities while purposely having low pay to maximize profits at all costs. They'll work you to the bone without hesitation.
