Pros

Cubic is like the Wal-Mart of contract companies. They're buying up every gov't contract they get within 100 miles of so they can afford to be picky. If you have the quals, you'll probably be working with similarly qualified people....that way you'll have friends to tell about how much you hate your job.

Cons

Where to start... -First, there is NO Statement of Work; you'll be expected to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING the client wants. I was hired as a SME/ Instructor, I spent a lot of time washing cars and taking out trash. -Pay would be good if you had some vague idea what your job was going to be that week the pay might be OK. But whenever the client drops the ball, your day just got 3 hours longer. If the day runs long, too bad, its a salaried position. But if there's nothing to do or no class to run, too bad! Cubic wants its 8 hours, even if you just stare at the ceiling. -Insurance is a joke. Cubic will shamelessly duck paying workman's comp, no matter how obvious it becomes. The vision "insurance" is nothing but a discount, I got a better price with a AAA membership. Apparently there's dental, but good luck finding time to use it. -Your Program Manager will probably be someone you've never met, but they'll still be writing your performance evaluation, based solely on what one or two people in the client organization thinks about you. Your Program Manager might not even know anything about the job you were brought on to do. They know about writing reports and navigating Cubic's maze of bureaucracy, but that's it. -On the contract I worked for over a year, I repeatedly saw negligence and violations of safety procedures that led to injuries and near-fatalities. To protect the company when someone finally DID die on the job, I presented a documented timeline of the safety issues I saw and how incidents had been covered up. By the time I arrived home that same evening, I received a call telling me that I would no longer be working for Cubic. "SAFETY" usually trumps client satisfaction, but to make it clear, CUBIC WOULD RATHER SEE YOU DEAD THAN RISK UPSETTING A CLIENT. Bottom Line: The money is only so-so but at least the job is miserable.
