Pros

Good pay package. The company rewards hard work, and if you're willing to put the extra effort and hours, you will make a lot more money. Field engineers tend to make a % of the work done on top of their base salaries, so you can get rich fairly quickly. Training is pretty good too.

Cons

Work-life balance is not the greatest. Hours can be unusual. Locations are horrible, unless you enjoy living in the middle of no where.

Pros

It you want to work in the field you can work overtime and make lots of money. Otherwise you will be expected to put in tons of time on a Salaried job. It can work to your benefit if you have a good arrangement with your direct manager, but otherwise it could be miserable. Mostly, I would recommend getting training here and going somewhere else.

Cons

Management will essentially lie to you about their decisions. They do not compensate well comparied to other industries in my job. They give terrible pay raises, even if you are ranked exceptionally well and the company is doing exceptionally well.
