Pros

Am able to work independently with a customer on government contracts (I'm in IT) on bases around San Diego. Created an opportunity to work with customers and other SERCO employees at different levels which created a unique, diverse, and education work environment. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Bit of partisanship when it comes to advancement. No clear path towards advancement, and lack of communication by most, but not all, upper management regarding potential contracts, expiring contracts. No communication from some management at all. Worked with them for many years and some may not know what you do or what you're capable of. Yearly review process needs to be updated to be level with the rest of the industry. Raises are unsubstantial for 4 straight years even with above average reviews. Lack of gender and racial diversity at the top.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
