Pros

Were bought by DRS in 2003. The company is very Defence orientated as I am. Having spent 24 years in the Marine Corps spit between Active and Civil Service I enjoy doing work that supports our war fighters. DRS is very diversified and support all the services and Homland Security and offers it people to apply and transfer within the company.

Cons

Lack of local management to make the hard decisions and the lack of our corporate organization to understand we are no longer a mom and pop organization. I do not believe our wages are up to par with the industry nor do they offer the best compensation packages within the industry.

Pros

Ability to learn about high technology, Oracle Systems, and the Defence Industry

Cons

Employees are more or less numbers on a spreadsheet. Little opportunity for career growth. The job you hire in is usually the one you will end with. Employees can be laid off at any point for any reason. Employees sometimes with 20-30 years seniority are routinly let go on a whim, then replaced with cheaper, in-experienced new-hires while quality suffers.

Pros

DRS Technologies gives you the feeling of priority on doing a good job. The company strives to bring a wide variety to the work place. Many of the benefits come from the manager that you work under. The manager you have determines the amount of respect and work load you get. The work environment is very clean and very relaxed. Employees’ are respectful and nice. Many of your co workers are eager to help and assist in any way they can despite the complexity of the request. Work is constant and is normally given a deadline. Vacation and sick time are given happily when needed.

Cons

Work load can be overwhelming and stressful when management fails to set a realistic date of completion. Employees that start as interns and move up into full-time positions many times do not get the pay they are deserving of. Communications between offices are mediocre at best which causes problems in finishing work. Communication inside the office is decent but with certain groups unable to retrieve needed data for work it makes for hard work that is unclear. Data collection and revision is disastrous when it comes to trying to make fast changes to documents and is hard to finish tasks in the time allotted.
