The job itself is not bad but the management is extremely poor. Moreover, if you join now, you will be standing behind 40+ SATCO that have joined ahead of you. You will have to wait for 3 to 4 years before you will be able to start your training as a controller. If you are contended with surviving doing nothing but ATFSO's work for the first few years on a meager pay, just go ahead and sign up for the job. Some people would like to convince you into believing that you are joining a profession. Years of mis-management has turn this into a piece of joke.
