I personally find the job very fun and fulfilling when you are able to develop and implement new tooling. The pay is pretty good; travel allows you to rake in a few extra bucks. There is a lot of room to grow and roles that you can move into.

Note this is for my department/management only; I've heard much better stories in other departments. Raises do not come quickly, and the only way to move up the ladder is to fight. Work-life balance is terrible, often working 7/12s throughout all the traditional holidays. Travel is required constantly. There is no comp time, and they don't always pay your overtime. If you do a good job, management will pretty much not allow you to move to any other department or job role. There is no WFH, even though it is very possible.

Need to promote from within, provide a better work-life balance, and push people to make good decisions for themselves, their career, and the company as a whole. Don't just keep people tied to a department at the lowest rate of pay they are willing to accept.
