Unbalanced pay, mired in red tape

Systems administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large exciting projects. Interesting work.

Cons

Slow promotions, lots of red tape and pay is unbalanced. Many contractors are underpaid (while their employers keep huge profits) and civilians are facing huge turnover and lower quality people coming in from these contractor companies. The rank system is disorganized, there is no clear structure saying that contractors are responsible to civilians, and guidance has made it more difficult for civilians to manage contractors as civilians have been told they cannot comment on contractor performance or achievements.

No micromanagement here!

It systems specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good organization, great support to the warfighter at most field sites, meaning it's rewarding to know we're making a difference. Management trusts its workers' integrity and talent to be able to autonomously operate with sufficiency. Morale is very high here despite furloughs and budget issues. Good stability and pro-family.

Cons

Impact of the indirect difference we make to the warfighter is vague. The off-hands approach is a bit too off-hand, should be more direct involvement/participation in each employee's lives. Too many 1-deep personnel. Not enough push back against headquarters' inconsistent policies and the non-applicability of certifications. Software installations are a failure in general and there's too much beta testing of products that are placed immediately into production for some reason. The bathrooms are cleaned way too often, unnecessarily. Too many conflicts of interest and nepotism/favoritism regarding allowance of relatives to work with each other and/or be hired for the same building (either spousal or by blood). Too many fast-track promotions of young, former student interns to management, over more experienced personnel, particularly military folk.
