Pros

Opportunity to assist members of the military and their families

Cons

Difficult to get promoted if you don't "fit" in what the senior leadership deem the right option. Promotions aren't fair and given to those that are liked rather than qualified. Senior leadership seems to prosper on the backs of their employees. The unfortunate part is their are alot of good employees however they aren't valued or appreciated and thus they leave despite the opportunity to be apart of this wonderful growth. The lack of experience and education for the vision and strategy is unnerving. Be warned enter at your own risk

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
