Pros

Navarro encourages employee development and growth, and furthering education. Opportunities are often filled from within.

Cons

Navarro's education reimbursement plan is minimalist, more than half the costs come out f my pocket.

Poorly managed

Pros

Beautiful part of the country. They pay us on time although their payroll system was messed up for months. Some good people from previous contracts still around. Excellent recruiter and administrative assistance, although sparse.

Cons

Disorganized. Navarro doubled its size with this contract, but did not add human resource, administrative, supervisory, or technical editing employees/freelancers to help. Lack of direction and appropriate control from the top down. Little information flows from the main boss to the rest of the folks on the contract. Too secretive when we need information to do our work. Too much reviewing of work after it is done rather than before it is started. This causes delays in getting projects and reports done. The company does not seem to want to hear feedback from employees. It hires managers who threaten employees rather than empowering them or providing support. Long-term employees are leaving to earlier-than-preferred retirement or other jobs or no jobs. Temps or new hires show up without warning. Boss may not show up and does not tell us.

Horrible company

Pros

They let most of us keep our jobs.

Cons

Horrible management and decision making. Can't get simple things like billing and time charging right. Have yet to get PTO deducted correctly, so nobody knows how much time they have off. The owner and her newly hired cohort can do no wrong and are hiring people with known history of verbal abuse to bust heads in an already sketchy environment. Refused to honor previously agreed salary requirements based on standard market rates. Have new hired management scrutinizing everyone's time in/out and conversations with no regard to the subject matter or personal issues.
