Pros

I previously worked as an instructor for 22 years. My professional growth was limited to a new class to teach. My specialty was SharePoint and I was considered an "expert" by many students/commands/companies. But I had little practical experience. FTI has given me the opportunity to do what I love and gain experience at the same time. There are new challenges every day and I need that stimulation to be happy. I love to learn. The people that I work with in the Chesapeake office, and those employees I’ve interacted with at other locations, are incredible. The sense of family and camaraderie is evident. The culture in Chesapeake is dedication, commitment, growth, and I enjoy coming to work. It also gets a little bit crazy at holiday parties! I love the fact that I can work at home on occasion. If I have a doctor's appointment or something else that needs to be done during the day, we're given the opportunity to work at home. I live a considerable distance away from the office and I've been able to work from home in extremely bad weather. Employees are treated as adults and are trusted to get the job done.

Cons

While I understand how time is charged to a contract, as a SharePoint Developer I support many different areas of the company. It would be much easier if I was overhead for the whole company. It gets rather tedious keeping it all straight.
