Pros

Paid a competitive salary. As an ESOP company I was able to maximize my retirement savings. Mid-Level managers fight hard for their workers.

Cons

Leadership -- just attended a retirement party for a mid-level manager from CALIBRE and although "C-Suite" leadership was invited, they never seem to have the time to attend. Unfortunately this appears to have become the norm. When I started with the company our motto was "The only thing better than our products are our people." Leadership seems to have forgotten they assumed their roles in part thanks to a quality workforce. Sad.

Great Place to Work - Stepping Stone for Many

Pros

Rewarding work assisting Transitioning Service Members with understanding and accessing their earned VA Benefits. Easy and fun day to day work. Great colleagues! I'd say that we got paid well for the nature and amount of work that we actually had day to day. Tuesdays (7 hour benefits class) can be long, but enjoyable and rewarding as well. 95% of the Service Members are so grateful that we are there, and thankful for the positive and supportive assistance we provide. Great 401K for those who do not need to use the company provided health insurance!

Cons

High turnover - very high. Sadly, there were workers who really did not want to be there (not sure why they took the job!) I think since the turn around was so frequent, the need to hire was dire and the interviewing process might not have been as regulated as it should be - (?? not sure)) maybe the hiring should be more closely regulated and it should be made known that the pay is non negotiable and that often times one might have to "stay busy" Of course this made this job very easy to leave as we constantly heard of similar job openings that paid better. Too many full time workers - not needed!* see advice for mgmt.
