Pros

There are truly no pros to working here

Cons

As someone who had just graduated college, I thought this was a great company with great starting salary… boy was I wrong. Little did I know that I’d work here for 4 years with absolutely no raise whatsoever, I went through 3 merges/name changes (and I see another has happened since I left), and the company is STILL laying people off. They are losing contracts (which I said would happen) and they are underpaying their employees. This company is being run into the ground. I feel so bad for those who spent 30+ years with them, as this is clearly not the same company they started out with. Get ready to get a new manager every 6 months or so ( I went through 6 managers), terrible, inconsistent pay (yep, I would get like half my paycheck because their system sucks, or they thought I wouldn’t notice) and not being appreciated. There’s way better out there than this job… do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time time.

Pros

Make your own schedule Work from home - no morning commute and any mileage or expenses are paid Interesting work and you meet lots of interesting people Purpose behind job is rewarding - sense of pride in protecting national security Good benefit options and quarterly bonus potential adds a lot to salary if you are good No case is the same - same function but different stuff every day Background investigation - typically gives you eligibility for a clearance which is very valuable

Cons

Work is never ending - you have to manage yourself or else you will be swamped Meeting production metrics can be tough sometimes especially when you can’t control certain factors Working alone can be very lonely - I go full days without talking to one person Company is for profit so your employment is not protected like federal employees
