Pros

- Collaborative culture with a management open-door policy - Management is supportive and hands on when it comes to professional progress - Big company, but it is a company that deals mostly in contracts so you deal mostly with your team which makes it feel like a small company. - Wonderful teammates - Lots of ways to advance your career by increasing your knowledge and skills. Great learning programs and assistance with educational opportunities - Great work-life balance with WFH opportunities and vacation days. - 401k matching and the stock is doing well

Cons

- Laptops are outdated and slow - Most jobs are contracts so job security is an issue - Some of the best opportunities require relocation - The company activities are close to non-existent so it is difficult to get to know the other contract teams in the area

Pros

There were some really wonderful people whom I supported in Prop Ops and Corporate. They were very appreciative of our work and work ethic. The proposals were always interesting and I thought well run overall until recently. My direct manager was very flexible with work hours, remote work, etc. so I had no problem with weekend work or work that required a very fast turn. He let us do our jobs and supported us when necessary. Not too sure about the new manager as she just came onboard. Things are changing there.

Cons

The culture has changed over the 25+ years I had been there-less team oriented, less support for work, and definitely less recognition from upper management who had no clue what we all really did. There is a real disconnect. Hardly any monetary compensation for winning work from them...that kind of thing came from my direct manager who was forced into early retirement as were a number of people whom were very good at their jobs. The recent layoff was very random and had nothing to do with performance. I believe they used some kind of matrix that had to do with salary and age-for my laid off group it looked obvious but of course that is hard to prove...
