Pros

Indoors No other pros exist

Cons

The management was unprofessional and verbally abusive at every level. They trick you into thinking you will be doing intelligence work, but in truth, you are watching almost 2000 cameras for 12 hours a day. That is it. Depending on the day and the mood of the "director," you may or may not get a break. If you have anything going on in life, it comes second to your four-day on, four-day off schedule. No matter what they tell you, the schedule is not changing, and there is zero growth opportunity. You are a number in a seat, nothing more. You start in the position you will stay in until you quit, or the director makes up a reason to fire you because he does not like you. He talks unprofessionally and derogatorily about everyone to everyone. You are wrong if you think he does not talk badly about you while he is "venting" about everyone else. He will also boast about having double-digit HR complaints against him (which is true), but HR will not do anything about it because the Embedded Director has the final say and tells HR what to do. In the span of six months, the entire team (12 people) changed over twice. Do not let the dollar amount fool you; you will be a prisoner. The team referred to the four days off as yard time.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
