Pros

There are a good amount of paid holidays and the schedule is constant and always enough hours

Cons

The management.. there are too many heads on this snake and it seems like who is in charge changes day to day. Hard to get anything done because it goes through so many "chains of command"

The GEM management of this contract has hired two Program Managers to be onsite for all management purposes. Both of these PMs go out of their way to ensure the contract is running smoothly, especially since there are over 35 client chiefs, supervisors, etc. that must be kept happy, a task quite hard to accomplish. There is only one chain of command back to the Corporate offices located in Miami. Even the CEO and President honor an open door policy for all employee concerns. Joe Easton President

Pros

I am being forced to type something in this box by glassdoor but I assure you I have nothing.

Cons

This company has acquired the contract I am currently on and they have cut salaries 15-20K a year. We didn't not receive a benefits package until about two weeks before they came on board although we knew they were coming about two months ago.

GEM took over this contract when FBI decided to consolidate two large business contracts that were paying high salaries to keep vacancies filled. The consolidation contract forced GEM to bid at much lower salaries based on the proposal requirements. Of course all of the incumbent staff were upset since it was mandated that the salaries be reduced based on the wage determination given in proposal. At the First town hall meeting, the CEO, the Program Manager and the Human Resources Manager from GEM were in attendance. The irate incumbent staff were very inconsiderate and would not allow the meeting to continue due to the abrupt disturbance in the meeting at the hotel. The hotel management asked that we end the meeting based on the horrible abursts and loud protest. GEM executives did not have a chance to go through the benefits or the reasons for the adjusted salaries. This is happening to most Federal contracts across the board based solely on salary creep. The overhead charged on this contract is a breakeven point for the company. The employees did not understand this was out of the control of the company and mandated in the FBI proposal. Over the next months, GEM worked with the FBI to increase salaries and benefits to help as much as possible. Most of the unruly employees have been removed from their positions and replaced with outstanding employees. Joe Easton President
