Pros

We get a paycheck. The hours are standard so work and life balance is good. That is all the good I can say about NCI.

Cons

Upper management is clueless to what goes on. They waited till the last minute to tell us we need a new IT certification. Instead of paying for it them selves, they used a state funded grant and make the training time outside of working hours. 401K is 50% of 6%, so if you put in 6% they only match 3%. Very strict work hours and lunch hours policy, we need approval to make time up, something that is very unusual for this business. We can only take time off in 4 hour blocks, they have never explained the reason for this. Only health insurance options are high deductible and have a high monthly premium.
