Business Outlook

Pros

Recruiter was very professional and HR representative was receptive to my feedback as part of outprocessing.

Cons

1) Assigned manager who contacted me for an annual performance review at only approximately eight weeks on the job. 2) TTO Lead who did not sufficiently address subcontractor with history of issues with other employees for approximately three years. 3) Same TTO Lead did not feel the need to get involved despite several notifications of my work being impeded. Apparently, he did not feel conflict resolution was necessary as part of his position to manage the persons working the TTO. 4) Witnessed subcontractor loudly cussing at other individuals in the Government space at other individuals while working on the same TTO. At the time of my departure, he was still employed on the same TTO. 5) Very cliquish environment where not everyone felt valued.

Business Outlook

Pros

-Experience with various government agencies and federal investigations -Flexible work -Very independent. I hear from my manager maybe twice a month.

Cons

-Extremely demanding. You work based on source units. You’ll be assigned some, begin working, and then have to write off coverage. All for what? No units. So you have to try to make up for it in some other way. -Not paid enough for the work we do. Honestly, we could go work for government agencies doing the same thing and make more. -Bonuses are few and hard to get. If something is even the slightest bit off you won’t bonus. - Very little room to grow. You can either level up to be an investigator taking on more work or become a manager.
