Worst place ever to work!

Pros

Salary is pretty good at the higher levels with substantial bonuses possible. Location is good. Opportunity for advancement if you are the right type of person, due to high attrition.

Cons

Very chaotic, no game plan from senior management. Plans change daily. High rate of people getting fired, especially at the manager & director level. Most get fired within 1 year or less. Several sacred cows and untouchables who can do no wrong, so beware and make sure you survey the political landscape thoroughly because the office politics and backstabbing is considerable. Very few college educated professionals, most are ex cops, ex military, or ex SWAT. Lots of foul language, screeming, and fist pounding at the top levels, respect for individuals is just not present.

Pros

Great mentoring by older employees. Exciting work and opportunities to learn new technologies. People generally care about oneanother. It was great to know that what I did helped protect our guys and gals in uniform.

Cons

Benefits are getting worse, this year only one medical provider and next year 2011 only one plan, one provider. Everything going up in cost. No more pension plan for new hires. Management wants to move site to Mich. no matter what. New engineers from auto industry (Ford) do not understand the government or armored vehicles. All experienced workers are retireing or leaving. The customer (our troops) will suffer the most.

Pros

Good Benefits and pay, supporting our troops is number one priority of most of the employees, and it was important to be a part of that.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy. Form over substance. Some of the Executive leadership seems out of touch. Defense industry is cyclical.
