Pros

As opportunities arise, all are given the chance to take on a new role and grow. That being said, the position maybe overseas or in another state. Either way, you are thrown in and you have to just go with it. It was a great learning experience for me. Benefits are good, salaries are decent.

Cons

Prior military hires is the norm for management roles. Unfortunately, they all forget that they are no longer in the military and have a hard time getting acclimated to private industry and grasping the fact that respect is earned not given. Mgmt is very competent, but sometimes like to take shortcuts rather than follow what's right and fair.

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.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
