Pros

Got to travel the world, sometimes not by choice. Interesting technology and gained a lot of experience because engineers were expected to do everything.

Cons

Engineers were expected to do and know everything. Got thrown into situations that I was not prepared for and judged on those situations for reviews.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
