Pros

40 hrs PTO for sick time 120 hrs accumulated annually for vacation. $75,000 total cap. for Tuition assistance.

Cons

No degree = Trash pay. Military experience, security clearance... does not effect your worth to the company. I'm serious, no one cares about your military background or security clearance. Only way to climb in this company is to spend a life time there or get a degree in anything an get a salary job doing half or less work than those without a degree and getting paid twice as much.

Pros

Security Clearance Great pay out of undergrad (because of shift differential) Lots of other young/recent grads Smart people Advancement opportunities (if you like satellite operations) NEVER bring work home with you - you'll go to jail if you do! 8 hours per day... and that's it!! Great hours/benefits

Cons

Shift Schedule - The rotating shift schedule was tough. It's hard for some to stay healthy becuase of the hours, eating habits, etc. And bye bye to half your weekends! The company is HUGE and obviously pretty silo-ed. If you want to go somewhere else after your 18th month stint it's not like your boss can call his buddy over in a different business unit to help you out. I thought the work was incredibly boring. Many of my peers LOVED it and wanted to stay in highly technical satellite operations for the rest of the career, never seeing the light of day, traveling, etc. I think I'm almost too much of a mover/shaker for a job like this.
