Pros
Being given the ability to gain mass amounts of experience in different programs due to an exposure to a wide array of tasks and scenarios. There is a very diverse group of employees with different skill sets which can be tapped into. If you are willing to take the time to educate yourself, not wait for something to be handed to you, relocate for different chances, and most importantly listen to and accept any feedback (negative or positive) from peers, supervisors or anyone above, there is no ceiling to the amounts of knowledge you can gain, chances for advancement, or opportunities to explore. To open those doors to the future, you must actually own up to your past actions and behaviors while maintaining a realistic view to the depth of your knowledge in your area of expertise. Acknowledging your own personal downfalls, showing progress and making improvements goes a long way here. Even though there are negatives listed in this review, I enjoy working here as I enjoy the unexpected and unpredictable chaos. It's a new experience every day.
Kontras
Medical benefits - but at least they are offered! There are times when favoritism from the management team appears to be the deciding factor over who is actually best qualified and most capable of completing tasks/filling roles. The assignment of demanding tasks by management can be very frustrating as it is usually done without being given direction or providing feedback during your progress through the task. Yes, you learn how to become very resourceful to find the answers, but it is at the risk of wasting time and decreasing productivity. At times, if feels like you are being dropped in the middle of the woods 300 miles away somewhere in the middle of Wyoming, having to return to your desk in the next 24 hours in business casual attire and providing that detailed yet not overly summarized business analysis using Calibri 11 font while the only tools they provided you with are a mini-mag flashlight with no batteries, one yellow rain coat two sizes too small, one red #2 pencil (specifically red with no sharpener), and black construction paper. (Yes - that is correct. It feels to be just as pointless and awkward as that last sentence and making absolutely no sense whatsoever.)
