Pros

Fantastic location, Decent benefit package, Great coworkers.

Cons

Administrative onboarding was a JOKE, took 7 month to get me fully into the system. The first 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks I had no access to e-mail or computer use due to the fact they have ONE approving authority for CAC and building access badges. He was on travel during that time. Also the work order renewal and review process is ridiculous. They wait until the very last hour on the very last day of the contract suspense date to notify employees IF they have a job the next day...or if they will have to stay home/look for other work until the contract is renegotiated/approved and funded. NOT the way to show your customers(ARMY) or your employees that you value them or are committed in the least.

Pros

Hard to say any if at all. I get a paycheck (that took months to be paid correctly)

Cons

No wage increase despite others making way over SCA limits, no adjustments for cost of living, same people recognized for doing bare minimum, insurance premiums are insane, no allowance for unpaid leave, PM totally unaware of what even happens on the contract, no one in upper management takes accountability for mistakes and contractors are blamed, many inadequate hires made just to have a warm body
