      I wouldn’t recommend any of my friends or old colleagues to work for this company

      Pros

      Stability, decent benefits, travel occasionally, “Glassdoor won’t let me add this because I do not have 20 words that are positive about this company.”

      Cons

      Lack of leadership skills, double standard, horrible training program, no room for growth. Lack of pay for A&P mechanics. Maintenance manuals are outdated and incorrect.

      ADMINISTATIVE NIGHTMARE

      Pros

      Fantastic location, Decent benefit package, Great coworkers.

      Cons

      Administrative onboarding was a JOKE, took 7 month to get me fully into the system. The first 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks I had no access to e-mail or computer use due to the fact they have ONE approving authority for CAC and building access badges. He was on travel during that time. Also the work order renewal and review process is ridiculous. They wait until the very last hour on the very last day of the contract suspense date to notify employees IF they have a job the next day...or if they will have to stay home/look for other work until the contract is renegotiated/approved and funded. NOT the way to show your customers(ARMY) or your employees that you value them or are committed in the least.

      Pros

      Executive leadership was always available, its a pretty flat org. BD and Capture heads are very strong, they understand win the business first and back office minutia can wait.

      Cons

      Tough commute from upper Montgomery county during rush hour.
