Pros
There are very few companies that offer the same level of benefits as Federal Schedules - full health care, 401 K, employee stock ownership, 2 weeks of vacation, 2 weeks of sick (can be used as vacation), all federal holidays and your birthday off, time off for volunteer hours, in addition to gym membership, Costco membership, and tuition reimbursement. Hours are flexible and during the summer the company offers early closure on Friday, provided there are no time-sensitive projects. There's no micro-managing and significant flexibility in relation to the performance of my job. As a small company, there is minimal red tape to go through to start a new initiative or change an existing process. This benefits me personally in my position, as well as the company as a whole. As changes occur in the industry, we are in a position to respond quickly. Overall, Federal Schedules is a company that I'm proud to work for. The people are incredibly talented and everyone works hard because being client-focused is an actual priority and not just a bullet point in our marketing copy.
Cons
There is not the same level of advancement opportunities that you might find at a larger company. However, there is room for advancement and there is significant opportunity for professional development and growth.
