Pros

Pay was Decent but not for the stress. Benefits were good it’s a Federal contractor. Work from home if you’re into that.

Cons

Constant Emails sent out about the team not doing this correctly or not doing this on time even if it has nothing to do with where you are. Constant emails from several different people about a system being down or something that needs done “ASAP!!!!!”. Contact with supervisor is the only contact you will have from the company unless you or someone else is screwing up. Constant demand with no incentive to do so. Company is uncoordinated in the OPM Contract and they change guidelines constantly. I feel like most of the time I spend on my email trying to stay on top of new guidelines in fear of being snowballed with Reopens on cases. All of their IT systems suck and are down constantly. You can go on vacation for a week and comeback to 100 emails about screw ups and demands from you when you’re not even there to perform the tasks they want. I can barely find the motivation to do the job anymore the only thing driving me is my paycheck and my bills. Company needs serious work and to ease up on some of their employees. I went from wanting to go above and beyond in the job to only doing the minimum while searching for a new job.

Pros

The company has your back; it shows how much it cares for its employees. Personnel moves are done in a way that makes sense, and they often put the right person in the right job and make changes quickly when necessary.

Cons

As contractors, you are bound to what the customer asks. And there is not much control over it, since you are contractually bound to support that customer. Even then, GDIT corporate makes sure to reach a good middle ground when changes are requested.

Pros

Good pay and flexible telecommute options

Cons

Extremely basic benefit offerings. There also seems to be a very wide chasm between GDIT internal (management/corporate) and front-line staff who are focused on the contract.
