Pros

My team is very tight knit and we back each other up when we need assistance. No real drama and that's the way I like it. Great work-life balance. Diversified company with many sectors of federal and state funded work projects.

Cons

Senior sales managers sometimes don't do their jobs to the fullest and this impacts the proposal process. Not much except for a slap on the wrist and then it happens all over again.

Pros

Great place to work. Flexibility, work from home options available. Tons of opportunities across multiple disciplines. Work life balance is great. The people are awesome.

Cons

Pay is unfortunately on the really low end of the industry. A lot of turnover because people leave in order to get a better salary due to the low pay. I also don’t like that your manager (RTL) is also a manager for 20-30 people, and you are all under one large group instead of various teams. The matrix system is a bit odd to me.
