Pros

My coworkers are good people. We try to keep our morale up as things around us change. Freedom of job.

Cons

Lack of training. Poor management/worker relations. There are certain people in managment that should be fired for ethical reasons. Another should be removed for not following government protocols for incidents. Benefits are lackluster for single employees. High deductible. Raises are minimal. No bonuses (for workers). Cashflow problems have been around for too long. Vendors/banks are losing faith. Upper end of HR seems to have an alternative agenda. Will take the company's side on all issues, even when morally/ethically wrong.

Pros

They'll hire anyone regardless of qualifications just to have a body to generate revenue

Cons

This company has consistently lost money and contracts throughout it's history. Between 2003 - 2007 it was an independent company that got lucky on a few large contracts. Due to rampant mismanagement the company was in debt $120 million when they were purchased by Rockwell Collins. After Rockwell Collins purchased them they were restructured but continued to lose all of their prime contracts. They've had to cut their employees base pay several times meaning employees that had been with the company for years were making less than when they started causing a 70% turnover in employment. Eventually Rockwell sold Datapath at a $100 million loss plus more layoffs. The company has a complete lack of qualified leadership. Managers are part of the good old boys club and diversity is more important than quality. The people being promoted are the ones that have stuck around for years because they can't get jobs at other companies .Their security office in particular is completely incompetent and has cost several employees their clearances and jobs due to paperwork not being submitted on time or completely. The benefits are horrible!!! The 401K only vests after 4 years when most employees stay for 1 - 2. They have very few positions in the continental United States so most employees spend their time in the Middle East working brutal hours in austere conditions for minimal pay. There is no room for promotion. Employee's are given the title of Engineer to earn more contracts without actually having degrees or qualifications for those contracts. An employee successfully sued Datapath Inc. for overtime wages that were not paid while on contract in Kuwait. The employees were working 60 and 84 hours a week but only getting paid for 40. The payroll department is not to be trusted so account for every penny you are owed.
