Hard working employees despite bad corporate decisions

Pros

- Great coworkers that are always willing to work together to accomplish any situation that comes ahead. - Usually a positive attitude all around despite any last minute projects that can ruin anyone's day.

Cons

- Many of the higher ups and the older employees have a very outdated mindset on technology to a borderline comical degree that they heavily depend on the younger guys to get anything done. - Company overpromises and underdelivers to their employees constantly - Very outdated business practices - Somewhat high turnover rate, the decent employees rarely stick around for more than a year. - Hardly any career advancement for employees within. - Low pay for high amounts of work. - Upper management passing the blame onto lower level employees for their own poor decisions in order the save themselves is sadly a common occurrence. - The building is old with very poor lighting at various areas. There has been talk of renovations and even a brand new building in development but after several years and no real progress or announcements, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Pros

Defense contractor, average benefits. Some locations are better than others.

Cons

Far behind in benefits, other defense contractors have better 401k match, PTO, salary, bonus plans( if any) educational match. Very poor relocation benefits internal IT problems. No real option to work from home on most positions. Not enough support for non technical positions.

Don’t fall for it!

Pros

Pay is fair but you really have to put in the work.

Cons

Micro managed by people who do not know the job. Management are snakes and will sink their teeth into you. It is a poisonous environment where you do the work and management takes all credit. When your manager tells the group in a meeting that he could give each 10% raise but that none of us are worth that after coming off a Covid year which was dangerous and challenging and the company took 10% away from our pay and did not give out raises… they don’t see your with!
