Pros

The pay rate ($25+/hr); most days you only really work 5-6 hours, chill the rest of the time. The lower middle managers were great, upstanding people who did everything they could to protect us from upper management.

Cons

KBR misclassified our positions so they could underpay us by $4/hour. The U.S. Department of Labor sued them over this underpayment issue. Even after the DOL ruled against KBR, I still had to fight for two years to get the $8000 owed to me. All the chairs that we used were literally fished out of dumpsters on the base. Upper management refused to purchase any chairs for years.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
