Pros

The field program, which allows analysts to work on-site with a military command, is an outstanding opportunity to learn about military operations. The work life balance is good.

Cons

Management does not care about personal growth of employees.Many good people have left. Given CNA's history and potential, we should do great work, not good enough work.

Enjoyable work, but terrible leadership

Pros

Superb 401k program, reasonable health insurance, fun work, high salaries, good coworkers. The work is high quality and you feel like you're contributing and making a difference.

Cons

Management is insane and completely clueless and seems hell-bent on running the company into the ground. Our rates are through the roof, and I'm embarrassed to tell clients what I cost them. The support staff have a "tail wagging the dog" attitude and provide, with a few rare exceptions, no support to the analytical staff--you know, the folks that are the reason the company exists. You can hardly do anything without loads of paperwork and administrative overhead, and you'll be doing it, not one of the support staff. Benefits are getting seriously hammered. We used to have a very liberal sick leave policy. That's gone--you get two days of sick leave per year. We used to have the standard 10 holidays, now it's down to 8. Health insurance costs keep going up drastically each year.
