Pros

It's a job. Interesting job dynamics between organizations. Lot's of potential if the organizations were integrated to work as a cooperative business unit. Organizations work for their own purpose, not as an integrated business unit. Diverse technologies across the corporation.

Cons

No growth. No recognition. Favoritism to "friends." Employees are demanded to work extra hours so the managers can meet the unrealistic budgets, in turn providing them with their bonuses.

Pros

The pay is good, only escalates to a certain point, but with the economy in Michigan, it's great. The people are friendly, helpful and professional. They recognize ability and a job well done. They are also not afraid to tell you when something is not up to par. This honesty is refreshing, and not done in a mean way, but rather to help you get back on track. There is a definite give and take, the groups work well together. You help others and they will help you.

Cons

There is a certain point where your salary caps, and also where there is no higher job you can do in the group. It would be nice to be able to advance further, however in my division, there was simply no where else to go. Therefore, I could not see doing this job for the rest of my life.

Pros

This is a good entry level organization for those pursuing a career in providing Defense Intelligence Solutions -specifically in the field of Signal Intelligence and advanced communications.

Cons

Professional development and advancement opportunities simply do not exist. The company has many ethical challenges for a company of its size. A professional H.R. (from segment to business unit) and some type of "checks and balances" could essentially protect its employees from unorthodox practices which, in turn, would assure the prosperity of the business. A conflict example: Key employees throughout the organization are family related that offer each other privileges and advantages. This has created an intimidating work environment and there are countless examples of employees being ganged-up on and bullied out of the company through the "Family-Connection".
