Pros
I switched to this company after leaving my previous employer. Two years out of college, I was frustrated, undervalued, and underpaid at my current employer. I began looking around to see what opportunities were out there and I came across Goldbelt. I didn't really know too much about them but thought "whats an application going to hurt". Long story short, they offered me a job, paid me what I asked for, gave me an office and anything else I needed to have a productive work environment (in comparison, at my previous job I worked in a cubicle with broken desk drawers and broken lights that were never fixed regardless of how many times I asked). For the first time in my short career, my ideas and opinions are given genuine consideration and, if liked by my superiors, implemented into operations. The feeling that I am valued as an employee and coworker (instead of a fraternity pledge) is so rewarding beyond the work we actually do. I am no longer forcing myself through the work day, winding myself up in hopes of a future payoff, or feeling down on myself for being at the bottom of the hierarchy. It feels like a team atmosphere without double standards. They eliminated every aggravation I had with working that resulted from my prior employment experience.
Cons
Government contracting in itself is not the most interesting industry. And I love my office but sometimes I wish I could work remotely.
