Pros
Pay for the area (Tampa) is pretty decent, but it has to be due to the extremely high turnover and the way they treat their employees.
Cons
Where do I begin? 1. DRS, in general, does not care for its employees. 2. In a 6 month period in 2021, they lost about 10 employees from one shop and they didn’t even bat an eye or fix any of the issues. 3. Management will literally laugh in your face if you bring them a problem and a solutions. They’ll just say, “That’s just how it is, deal with it.” 4. HR is more likely to tell you where to shove it after listening to any complaints then fix anything. 5. HR and Payroll will not keep you updated on any pay discrepancies or leave balances until after they’ve already greedily taken your hard earned money. 6. DRS’s COVID policies are laughable at best. 7. HR/Payroll do not keep accurate records and they don’t care because at the end of the day it only affects the lowly employee. 8. Heavy favoritism and “good ole boy” culture, especially at the MacDill AFB and Cypress locations. 9. The Government reps for DRS at MacDill on multiple occasions have called the “Tier 1” support techs useless, amongst other derogatory and offensive terms. 10. Highly toxic and unprofessional work environment. 11. Close to zero room for career advancement. 12. Zero transparency during the interview process as to what you’ll actually be doing and how entry level the job is. 13. Zero work/life balance, if you aren’t part of the “in-crowd”
