Pros

great benefits, job security, constant training that will stack your resume (i've spent most of my first year in OKC training).

Cons

pay could be a bit better. managers need to screen applicants better...i have more experience in my field and started at the lowest of the low, while people who have never done electronic tech type of work, started significantly higher. Also, I've had friends who told me straight up that they didnt have an interview process or anything; were just given the job due to veterans preference. You'll spend most of your first 3 years traveling back and forth to Oklahoma City for training. if traveling or being away from your family is a con, then that's a con. there's little room for moving up the ladder...theres only 3 pay scales (F-G-H), unless you want to become a coordinator, manager, or instructor in Oklahoma.
