Pros

If you are a woman with young/ school-age children: only work here if there are no other job options for you and use it as a transition while you are looking elsewhere

Cons

work-life balance and having a family is frowned upon/ nonexistent. They will hire ypu with a 30% travel estimate in their ads and job description then give you a new job description post-hire with an expectation of 60-70% overnight travel. This is expectation can not reasonably be accomplished by women with schoolage children or younger babies..
