Treachery pretty much describes the corporate culture of Nestor Consulting LLC (DBA GovernmentCIO).
This is a company run by two smooth talking Machiavellian predators. They have
their "good cop" / "bad cop" posturing honed to a fine art. Rampant deceit and misdirection lurks behind a mask of silky bromides and sweet nothings about being a part of something great.
In response to its high turnover problem in 2015, the company changed its
policy for accrued Personal Time-Off (PTO). For all departing employees, they don’t pay it. Also, they renege on promised promotions and pay raises.
The work their people hard, and then throw them away. The list of victims is long, documentable, and will undoubtedly grow longer.
All of this will come as a shock to the unwary employee foolish enough to
give two-week notice, without first using up all their accumulated PTO.
The company has a bad habit of unceremonious termination of trusting
employees whose immediate purpose are fulfilled.
Unfortunately, the company's high turnover rate is now safely hidden behind its recent
successful capture of a large number of new Federal contracts, and the almost doubling of employees and contractors.
If you admire deceit and misdirection, then you will just love working for
this Company. If you don't, then beware.
If their lips are moving, then they are lying.
Newly acquired vice presidents, managers, and project managers, you too
will someday be thrown under the bus like the many that have come before you.
This company has been named by the Baltimore Business Journal as one of the top Veteran Owned Businesses, two years in a row. Perhaps an email from all former GCIO employees to its editors suggesting that they tighten up their due diligence process would be in order.
