Some organizations, like mine, don't facilitate growth; they facilitate pigeon-holing

Pros

Good benefits from the union, some protection in disciplinary meetings (not guaranteed), ease of integration onto a team especially if you're new, low pressure (most of the time), and sometimes free food.

Good salary and good growth.

Cons

Union barely protects you. They act like they do, but only if you have a good union rep.

If you're not on a specific project or program, you might see this company trying to pigeon-hole you into the work you're doing forever unless you jump around.

You really have to learn on your own for the most part because the subject matter experts have all left the company or went to other states outside of Puget Sound.

Advice to Management

Be honest about what you're doing. Really investigate what kind of career someone could have in your group. If you come up empty, tell them that and help them find a better place.
