Pros

I haven't found one thing that is positive about them yet, but if I do, I'll revise this. I'm not holding my breath though.

Cons

They are just now taking over the contract at the AFB I am at. What is the first thing that they do? They go in and cut ALL of our supervisors' wages and cut ALL of the exempt employee's wages (by thousands)!!! Then, they turn around and tell all of us in the Union that they are going to do away with our pension plan!!! What the h*e*double hockey sticks??? Then, their so-called 'insurance' is twice as expensive as what we were already paying. None of our Supervisors/exempt employees get ANY benefits, and they're wanting to get rid of ours too. Our benefit package has been in place for over 15 years and they knew about it when they were bidding the contract. So they knew going in that it was there, they had to account for it in their bid, and now they're going to try to screw us out of it??? BS!! That is about as dishonest as you can get. It looks like they make their money by screwing their employees. Isn't that nice??? How do companies like this continue to exist and to get contracts? They have so many claims against them with the Labor Board.... just do an internet search and you'll find it. So anyway, now we are being forced to strike to try to keep our benefits. Meanwhile, the AFB we service is going to be without technicians/workers to take care of all of their systems, and this is a very large and very important base! If I were the government I would kick them back off the contract. It's not like we are asking for something extreme.... we just want to keep what we have, maintain our ability to make an honest living, and hopefully someday be able to retire. Alutiiq just wants everyone to work for nothing while they rake in the cash. The government needs to quit giving contracts to companies like them.

Pros

No pros to speak of

Cons

Ever since McCallie was sold to the Alutiiq Corporation, McCallie Associates reputation in the defense industry has tanked. I reported to the President of the company as my direct report, and had next to NO interaction aside from approving my timesheets. No performance or feedback reviews. Just a butt in a seat that generates revenue. A prime contractor ceased doing business with them locally, and I was discharged when the contract expired on 30 April. They now have no contracts in the Omaha/Bellevue DoD space, that I know of. I'm fortunate to have found a job since then, but found out that I wasn't covered by the companies 1 month insurance at all, since they end coverage on the 30th of each month. Best advice - do NOT apply to this company. The former owner of the company (may he RIP) would be livid to see what's been done to the company he founded and its ruined reputation among DoD prime contractors.
