Pros

All of the people that work at the Salem NH site are backbone of the DOD contract that pays everyone's salaries. But all of the upper management (all remote) that make all of the money, make very poor decisions. Onsite manager is a workaholic and does make the best decisions for this site,

Cons

Upper management is the main issue with this company. This company is separate from the one based in the UK. All of the onsite Administrator jobs have to double up on the work. Too many meetings IT Dept. was working great until upper management took over, Now we have no one and the last guy took over for the last 2 people they fired. Careful if you want to work in the IT Dept here. Not a career company, its just a job. Chaotic and small work environment. Packed in like sardines. Confusing how this site has a contract with the US Government but the main company is based in the UK and does make the decisions. Can you say foreign influence?

Strategically Unstable

Pros

Great customers and distributors make the mission worthwhile. They paid me very well with salary and bonus. They provided every other Friday off, as they tried to improve culture, this didnt seem permanent.

Cons

Quarterly changes in strategy result in slower than expected progress and regular questions about progress when the latest strategy was just kicked off. Culture is lacking. Neck biting and hen house culture at middle management was enable and senior VP's would even join in.

Pros

Vacation, benefits, decent pay, and eye for safety and cleanliness.

Cons

This place is run by people who are either related to each other in one way or another. I have personally seen a woman with no job experience other than baby sitting get a line lead position and her mother in law worked in the office. I've seen seen friends help friends and family alike while those who had no connection were forced to work harder and watch others kick back and take an easy ride. I was let go myself for attempting to prove the harassment against me. I gave 7 years of my life and worked hard for this company only for them to fire me, deny my unemployment and allow those who harrased me to go unpunished. I have witnessed a high membership of management use a derogatory phrase in the presence of a person of color and blow it off without a second thought. Racism. I will never stop bad mouthing this company.
