Body shop that has views employees as disposable cogs
Pros
- Good compensation, relative to the role. YMMV - Love that profits go to the Cherokee Nation - Good benefits; 401k plan immediate matching - Wide variety of contracts and types of work - Has enough integrity to say no to work that does not align to its values (e.g., ICE) - Much investment in business development people & resources to grow business - Internal corporate processes are pretty smooth - You go there to fill a contract slot, not to create a career. No more, no less.
Cons
- Some general managers are truly awful..nice to your face, but will fire you on a heartbeat with no warning and no explanation. Zero loyalty or care for their employees, despite empty talk. - Cliquish culture. Tulsa-aligned people have all the power. Anyone brought in from the outside will be pushed out unless they fall in line. - Very transactional. They view employees as disposable resources. They just fire and re-hire when contracts come and go. Doesn't matter how talented or useful, they refuse to retain people, invest in them, or create a career path. Another reason they are just a low-cost body shop. - Senior leadership has gotten used to the easy money of direct awards; not able to win enough new, full & open work based on unique capabilities - What are they known for? Just being a body shop with low rates - Very much a collection of small companies with no unity of purpose, except the corporate bureaucracy. - No vision about what kind of company they want to be or how to grow up--they just want to do everything for everyone.
