Pros

You can get away with being lazy and insubordinate because management can’t afford to lose any more workers.

Cons

Pay is well below industry standard. Most employees find out they can make much more elsewhere, so they’re gone within their first year. If you do stick around, you’ll constantly find yourself training new employees, which means you’re always going to be doing all the work. If you get injured at work you’ll have to sit on a conference call for hours with a person who isn’t a doctor, so the company can try and weasel out of paying you. This creates a culture of workers that work through injuries because reporting it is a colossal headache. They claim to be all about this “safety culture” but really that consists of slideshows and e-learning. If you point out safety concerns they are ignored.

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
