Pros

I loved working with the people of this company. All were ready to accept any challenge and succeed. Most were the people that built BAE Systems from the old Mark Ronald days. The ethics of this company are outstanding and make decision making easy. They have a 9/80 work schedule and it is worth working here for but that would be it.

Cons

When Mark Ronald left the company it went down hill fast. Two very bad CEO's ran the place into a management nightmare. They would like to be known as a great place to work but took so many things from the employees that it became impossible to be a great place to work.

Pros

I enjoyed working for a contract company that produced quality items for the US military. I liked the camaraderie among employees/employer. My job was close to home and I really felt accomplished every time I went to work, felt like a part of something big.

Cons

Challenge to work for a company when you did not believe you would have a job the next day or week. When contracts failed, it was impossible to feel as though I was safe, and that it would not happen to me. We also had a few management members that were less than kind but the environment was conducive for work - getting the parts delivered.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, and a few cool coworkers here and there.

Cons

*Payroll and benefits are unreliable - there are constant mistakes and changes, and more mistakes. If you don't watch your paycheck like a hawk, you'll end up shorted on something somwhere. *Upper management is out of touch, there's no middle management, and supervisors are in their positions due to seniority, not ability. They micromanage you because they have no idea how to BE managers; but HEY, they have a degree, and they're friends with the good ole boy network!!!! *If you kiss ass, have a crooked moral compass, and pretend to care about ethics and policy, you will fit in perfect. If you are a good, honest hard worker, you can forget about ever going anywhere in the company, or feeling like part of the "team". *NEPOTISM.
