      Pros

      As in many huge companies, there are many smart, dedicated employees. I can only speak for the AFSR group in California, but the pay scale for upper management is very good.

      Cons

      Stratified structures. You can only get ahead if you put the dollar ahead of ethics. If you are in middle management, just keep your head down and go with the flow. Lying and falsification of records are the path to success.

      Pros

      Ability to work 100% remote.

      Cons

      ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
