Pros

Growth potential within the operating companies is fantastic. Good starting salaries. Opportunity to relocate domestically and internationally. Management is open to new ideas and allows employees to make large impacts on the business.... Very rewarding for top performers

Cons

Recruitment lags behind awards won often creating additional work on others, causing high burn out rates

Pros

There is great health insurance with BCBS. There is yearly recognition with cake/certificates. I loved the education budget.

Cons

Akima/SAVA doesn't look out for its employees and expect not to get a good salary. Bonuses and pay raises may not be given one year and instead, handed to another part of the company. There is hardly ever a time that questions get answered.

Pros

It has been a great place to work. People are friendly and welling to help new people to get settled in to their positions and start contributing to the team. Supervisors take care of their employees.

Cons

Acquiring new tools that tools would improve work quality are difficult to obtain. Management does not always want to add new process even if the costs are resonable
