Pros

It was a good company a few years ago, but that changed as leadership changed.

Cons

Leaders tolerate poor behavior and don't lead by example. Expect to the do the work of three people and get the salary of one. Benefits are ridiculously overpriced and you still pay out the nose for services. There is a reason why there are so many jobs open all of the time. It's hard to recruit anyone to stay there long term because they quickly realize that there are better paying jobs out there with half the workload.

Pros

Hard to say any if at all. I get a paycheck (that took months to be paid correctly)

Cons

No wage increase despite others making way over SCA limits, no adjustments for cost of living, same people recognized for doing bare minimum, insurance premiums are insane, no allowance for unpaid leave, PM totally unaware of what even happens on the contract, no one in upper management takes accountability for mistakes and contractors are blamed, many inadequate hires made just to have a warm body
