Pros

Great benefits package, great 401k plan, lots of training, great place to start career. It is really a Your Mileage May Vary company; also the quality of work life depends on how your management leads your business segment.

Cons

There is too much internal politics. Promotions and choice assignments are given out on a favoritism scale. An unreasonable amount of work hours put in, the managers expect employees to live, breathe, and eat Blue. But not pay for quality work.

Pros

Diversity of workplace, an excellent career path and ability to develop at own pace. Starting as a trainee, you will have a clear expectancy, tasks and time of how and when you will be promoted. Compensation and medical insurance is top-notch, although personal-performance is not a big factor until a person reaches the GFE status.

Cons

Not much of work/life balance. Due to being a service company, we have to adapt to our client's needs and hence this may result in alot of work hours at different times of the day/week/year. Including weekends and public holidays. Sometimes language-barrier is an issue at some locations. In the start though, expect to do alot of non-related work such as painting, cleaning and maintenance where you will be wondering "am I actually paid to do such tasks?" but after first school things start to kick up.
