Business Outlook

Pros

The work environment is very laid back and it offers a great work life balance.

Cons

The company is regulated which requires additional reporting during the quarter end and year end. The raises are not that good. So get your money when you come in the door.

Business Outlook

Pros

Never boring, and highly engaging. Very good pay as a contractor.

Cons

Excessive work hours. Always in a state of panic. Very little proactive management. Permanent employees paid below industry standard which encourages the better employees to leave for contract opportunities or A&E firms. Ridiculous contract oversight and auditing practices that can and often do lead to career ending ramifications for mere clerical errors on documents. Highly unprofessional and apathetic.
