Vantaggi
- Smart, reliable, motivated coworkers. - Interesting and challenging work. - Lots of room for self improvement and learning. - Great training. - Good opportunity to get promoted. - Good pension contributions. - Paid healthcare plan
Svantaggi
- Work may get repetitive. - The pay is OK. - Too much in-house politics. Eg. Senior management imposing an employment freeze to save money in a particular quarter simply to show their own bosses that they have been able to save money. Meanwhile everybody else has to work overtime to cover the workload. Worst of all, supervisors and managers don't get paid overtime, as a result, the money "saved" is in fact earned on the backs of supervisors and managers who essentially worked for free. If you're applying for a supervisory or above position, make sure to be very aggressive in salary negotiations, a lot of overtime is expected, and unfortunately isn't paid.
