Pros

job is challenging and rewarding you have the opportunity to learn and grow great people and you can have fun while you work

Cons

at times too focussed on work processes at times micromanages costs-- ie travel having so many years of cost cutting is not fun

Pros

A relaxed, trusting environment where people are treated relatively well no matter what their position is. Workers tend to get along and communicate well.I am allowed to take breaks and eat as needed, also if I need to make a phone call for something personal that is also fine. It is easy for me to take off and there are several opportunities for overtime. The supervisors have been very fair and understanding and enjoyable to talk to. I can speak freely and am not rushed or under pressure. I appreciate that people can wok together easily. Because of the gate security I feel safe.

Cons

As a contracted worker, I do not have any of the benefits like health insurance, vacation days or a 401(k). I would feel much more secure as an employee than as a contractor. There are many online tests that have to be taken on a regular basis. There are not many downsides to this job, but I would prefer the location somewhere I could walk to get coffee or lunch, it is somewhat secluded but has good access to the interstate. Would like to see a more gender/racial/ cultural diverse atmosphere but I understand the surrounding area is only somewhat diverse.
