Pros

Job security is good, it is a government job

Cons

Task masters who worship hierarchy thrive here. Small people who have so little self confidence that they relish in telling others what to do.

Pros

None to speak of, very disappointing

Cons

Pay less than industry standard same amount of work,bad attitudes, people with no personality. What more could you want?!This place has been a nightmare. As others have said in their reviews, they actively discriminate against veterans. Veterans are looked down upon and treated with contempt for getting preference, even though they are afforded the same after three years. The contractors have a revolving door setup to hook up friends and people they know while overlooking other qualified individuals, even if not vet.
