*If the company is not legally mandated to provide it- they will not do so. And they’ll lie to you about it.
*For example, was told numerous times by several people from main office that they were ‘legally not allowed to pay more than $X per hour, as mandated by government for various labor categories .’ Regardless of previous experience/tenure. And regardless of how many people’s work each employee was expected to do on a permanently understaffed contract. As it turns out they legally cannot pay LESS than they the maximum they profess to have for each labor category. This information is publicly available online.
-Very little concern for the success or continuity of the contract I was on. Did not have a pipeline of potentials to extend offers to, like predecessor companies, so whenever employees left (which was frequently- see underpayment above) they would have a whole new round of hiring. But the candidates extended offers could either never pass security or the security process took so long that by the time they were cleared they had found other suitable employment.
*Ergo, perpetual understaffing. But no concern on the company side to solve the problem because not only were remaining employees just barely able to limp along and get just enough done with 1/3 staff, but the contract was prepaid so FSA was fully compensated for all positions whether they were filled or not. You can see why they didn’t really care to fully staff and therefore have to pay employees.
*No raises, based on either tenure or merit. Not even annual cost of living raises in one of the most expensive metro areas in the country. So enjoy paying to work for them if by chance you decide to do so.
*They didn’t even match any 401k contributions until calendar year 2022!
*Very poor PTO compensation.
*Very few opportunities for growth and advancement for normal employees.
