Pros
As long as your work gets done no one bothers you. Great network of vendors to work with, and plenty engineers for questions that are willing to help. Vacation is on par with surrounding plants.
Cons
Not much room for advancement. Pay is very slow to progress, low percent cost of living raise, and top pay is unrealistic. Depending on what unit you’re in dictates your work life balance. Some have very little overtime, whereas others are very demanding with constant forced overtime and months of blocked vacation dates. Every year something new to save money is taken away from us. Instrument techs are very unappreciated for the amount of extra work that is given to us and mostly goes unnoticed.
