Pros
-Great pay/ benefits, these are some of the most generous that I have seen, even though employees complain often about the low wages, that simply isnt accurate. Base pay, stock bonuses (for high potential employees), and retirement benefits are above average. -Work/life balance is very good. With so many positions available in the company, you can pick the role that best suits your lifestyle. IE- different groups/ business units have different expectations. -9/80 schedule. Having every other Friday off is great - Allowed to take "vacation hours" instead of vacation days. This helps you stretch PTO farther than taking "full days" off.
Kontras
-Considering the benefits noted above, these are required to make up for a hierarchical and hostile work environment. Every action is layered with process, policy, and bureaucracy. Management is gross inept at addressing employee needs, fostering a positive work environment, or encouraging employees to innovate. Employees are encouraged to follow policy and never question upper management. The culure closely reflects the military customers they serve. -Hourly culture pervades, where employees tend to "clock out" at the end of a work day, not willing to do anything extra unless they are being paid for it. -Average employee is below average in terms of engagement with their work and effectiveness -Much time is wasted on trivial exercises/ fire drills because an executive asked to see more granularity. No one is willing to push back on these requests in favor of best utilizing
