Pros

The people have always been wonderful. I mainly come to work each day to support them and make sure I do whatever I can to make their jobs easier. Most folks are overtasked and depressed, our sole solace found in being around each other. It wasn't always like this.

Cons

After we merged with corporate around 2011 the employee-centric workplace disintegrated. Upper management understaffed projects and worked the staff to the bone. The atmosphere is extremely stressful. Local management is woefully incompetent. The wonderful early days of our company are only a memory; this ship is going down.

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
