Pros

A relatively stable company with a strong national presence and multiple locations. Interesting work across a variety of industry and clients.

Cons

Salaries below market and raises do not keep up with cost of living. With the majority of their work contract-related, it can be hard to advance or progress. Contract work can add or disappear, overnight.

Pros

Good company ethics, policies and customer service. Quality upper management. Fairly good benefits and pay. Friendly helpful and informative people. Good location.

Cons

Not easy to move ahead, several have left to do that and some have come back to where they want or felt the direction they should have been. HR could use some improvement. IT department was lacking in good people, needed to hire more competent management.
