Zeiders Enterprises reviews

One thing is the vacation benefits being cut for the new year. I do understand that with the loss of a large contract benefits need to be cut somewhere and this is how contract work goes, but for employees who have been working for Zeiders and are still working for Zeiders, I feel we should have been grandfathered in and new employees start at the new hours. Having been used to having the vacation hours I have received for 3 years, it will be hard to now have less time off to spend with my family this coming year. The work-life balance that Zeiders prides itself on just got a little less life and more work. I was very bummed about this change. The only other thing I can think of that's limiting is the lack of growth is someone does want to break into management. I saw it on my old contract and saw many great employees who would have been amazing managers be passed over for management positions because their resume wasn't where it should be, but while working full-time as an employee, they have no opportunities to get management experience so they can become a manager. So essentially the choice for anyone wanting growth needs to leave Zeiders to get some management experience. This creates high turnover and the really great employees are the ones that end up leaving.

The only con is the fact that AFSC underbid and won the contract. The difference in contractors is drastic - no one can compete with Zeiders.
