Pros

Pay and Benefits are okay, but not cheap or administered well. Cafeteria onsite

Cons

It is a toxic environment, run by the Sales and Marketing team so they're clueless on operations. Diversity is not welcome, so women and people of color need not apply. Attempt to do much with too little. The ticket here is military, which is fine, but then your candidate pool shrinks. Too political, which means a lot of meetings, conference calls

STAY AWAY!!

Pros

Used to be a good place to work, used to! My advice is to stay away, the future seems bleek

Cons

- Terrible work/life balance - a real lack of structured work flow and processes - a culture of just "figure out how to get it done" - Opportunities for advancement are blocked - Very few female employees in leadership roles - They preach "the value employees" that's only lip service, company actions are contrary - If you use the healthcare offered and your spouse is covered you pay a surcharge. As if to say we value you and offer you insurance but if you use it , Oh well then you must pay an additional surcharge. - HR department is a mess - no meanigful training for employees, only obligatory quizes to cover the company - workload is heavy and people just fight fires, no real planning ahead - many reductions in force (RIF's) over the last three years - Good ole boys club
