      Pros

      You get a paycheck. Thats about it... this is filler text, this should make it about 20 words maybe. There!

      Cons

      You are not treated as a human being. Management does not care. All focus is on $-numbers and the bottom line. Benefits not that great, and pay could be way better.

      Pros

      In a nutshell, it is difficult to understand ANCs outside looking in; it is hard to explain it from inside looking out. Many are quick to place judgement in haste without attempting to understand it first. I know, because I once was the one to do so when I stood outside looking in. Akima and its operating companies serve a mission in duality - it serves the alaskan native tribes through serving those who serve. As an insider I can say with utmost confidence that the company operates with high standard for ethics and integrity. They require hard work and performance expectations are high, but the rewards and opportunities for growth are there and abundant for those who seek them. You will get what you put in and be given a fair opportunity to suceed (or not). When you do good work, they will be noticed and rewarded just as the opposite will hold true. Benefits are decent; not the best or the worst and comparable to any large or mid-size business'.

      Cons

      Morale in Shared Services. While it is their job to provide the best customer service, there should be more efforts to acknowledge and recognize them more for their hard work. They do a lot for a lot of people. For other "cons", there are and will be frustrating days. There will be people you like and not. The expectation for performance will be high and if you don't like pressure or high optempo, this may not be a right fit. There are the typical "cons" from working in any company that also apply here but nothing I would say is specific to Akima (with caveat that each operating company has its own culture and intricacies people other than their employees can speak to). But generally speaking, if there are unresolved issues that have not been dealt with the company or supervisor directly and have to be written about it online, then I would say it may not be a company problem.
