Pros

The pay is very good. I had a great manager and a positive, safe, professional work place. We where in a high security environment so there were a lot of restrictions on ourselves personally ( understandable ). I worked in Satellite Ops so career you had a job for life as long as the satellite system was active.

Cons

With Satellite Ops, if your satellite system dies out, so does your career. Who/What would hire you if your an expert on XYZ satellite and XYZ satellite system is decommisioned. It's a great place to work, and they look out for their people. Promotion, nope, we had guys in the office at their spots for 15+ years so your cemented into your slot for life.

Pros

It is an okay place to work when times are good. However, the site I worked at tended to over staff to make "sales". Though when the did this they would overrun the contract and would have to make mass cuts...usually around Christmas, nice huh???

Cons

When cuts in personnel come they usually are followed by the hiring of additional managers. "Hey we can't afford you anymore, but we are going to bring someone in at double your salary to sit at there desk and send out vague emails".
