      Pros

      I worked for BBC for 3 years at Ft Leonard Wood, MO. I started as a leasing agent and was promoted to Admin Asst to the Project director for my last year there. BBC treats their employees right with great management staff, affordable benefits, and opportunity. The company has a program where they will send you to a different property for a week to shadow and learn how other properties do it. I was picked to go shadow at Ft Carson and it was a great experience. They also email everytime there is a job opening within the company. I wish I could've stayed with BBC after my husband got out of the Army, but they are pretty limited to military towns and he was done with all things military.

      Cons

      There is limited room to grow if you are not willing to relocate.

      Pros

      A paycheck Not much travel Annual golf tournament Everyone is equally unsatisfied

      Cons

      -70-80 hour work weeks are typical -1.4% payraises -Motivates through fear -High turnover (30%-50% on Intel Projects), so you are constantly doing 2-3 peoples jobs during the constant cycle of replacing employees who quit -No leadership, constant confusion over who's in charge. -Extremely unprofessional (borderline racist) environment -Burning you out is their goal -Senior managment views you as a number -Extremely political environment -Zero transparency
