Operations Specialist in Reno NV
Pros: The only positive note is that you get great benefits and pay. everything else........

If you have other offers, reconsider.
Cons: "overall ratings" only applies to this job. 

If you are career driven, this job should only be accepted as your 1st job. The structure of the organization and reputation makes it very hard to move around the company. Being in operations especially in this organization, the role and the organization does not prepare you for a "actual Microsoft" position. Unfortunately, the organization being run by the director does not encourage the company's mantra or principles, which has encouraged to leave the company.

On the plus side, this organization is a staffed organization performing operational tasks dealing with contracts. Many of the employees in this organization are quite seasoned and are not proactive in providing change. If you are a proactive person that likes to challenge the status Quo, this would be the perfect team to join, make changes, create value, and also standout because no one in the organization makes the effort to do so. Very easy job to coast if you are looking for that, however, the operations services leadership team will limit your potential.
If you want to move to the flagship location and move upstream in the business after spending time in this role in Reno, It will take a long time
