Pros

- Higher average salary than competing government contracting companies. - Overall good benefits package (health insurance declined slightly, but they did their best to compensate for it by increasing other benefits) - Excellent training benefits

Cons

- The company can be somewhat corporate-centric; meaning that there is rarely opportunity for advancement outside of the corporate office (though this has little impact on my career as I've got no desire to be a Vice President) -Unless you work at the corporate office, the work culture is controlled by your customer which means you don't have the flexibility of negotiating work circumstances as you would in commercial companies (Note: This is true of nearly all government contracting companies, but it is still a negative mark in my book, even though it is outside of CALIBRE's control)

Pros

-Some good people to work with on various contract jobs. Benefits are on par with other companies. -You get to stay close to, and work with, the military community which is a plus if you're a former service member -Jobs are usually are not very hard to accomplish but are often very repetitive in nature.

Cons

-Low pay. -Poorly executed government contracts; they want you to provide great service with zero supplies or support from the company. -A lot of out of pocket expenses (phone calls, supplies, use of personal computers, etc) and commuting to and from various locations that you never get reimbursed for. -Too much repetitive, useless and time consuming paperwork -Non-existent promotion potential. - Workers are treated like 2nd class citizens, unless your upper management. If you work for a sub-contractor under Calibre it is even worse.
