Award Winning Veteran Friendly Employee-Owners Company

Business Outlook

Pros

An amazing employee-owned company complete with exemplary leadership, training, and opportunities especially for Veterans with a myriad of benefits. It was by far the best contract company I have ever worked for!

Cons

None to note. It is a government-based contract company so there is that, the "Contract World."

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible time off ESOP for employees

Cons

There was never a clear definition of who I was to report to. There wasn’t a defined way to assist the new personnel with onboarding. The daily expectation was never clearly defined and access to programs and data sites took entirely too long (over a year). Managers only contacted when there was negative feedback, and they dismissed my concerns when I made them aware. Position changed after I was hired
