Pros

It is a decent starting job, they offer more then many other companies do in the way of starting wages, benefits, and every other Friday off! the work is not taxing, and is very manageable.

Cons

Company culture...is the worst part of the job. there are "clicks" "groups" and "shifts" that are pitted against each other, and are extremely subtly aggressive. everything from gossiping and misinformation to outright lying. even some in management have favorites. or sometimes they believe the first thing they hear, and do not investigate. I believe I say none of this unfairly, i have always believed you get what you give. but when everyone is captain judge and jury before you even know a issue exists, that's wrong no matter how you look at it. every work place has its issues. and i'm not perfect, but the company as a whole has little to no integrity or real professionalism. and personally i had high hopes, and effort for a long time. but bad days out number the good by far. This is not the worst place to work. however, if it weren't for the pay i would choose a fast food restaurant over it. it is however slowly getting better.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
