Pros

Workers dedicated to putting out quality product. Folks generally work together as a team. Good pay and benefits Good facilities, especially Slidell administration building

Cons

Management was not proactive enough during salad days to prepare for future. Now they are playing catch-up, struggling to compete with more established competitors for future contracts. Insufficient and late investment in technical tools to enable employees to do their jobs more efficiently and with less error. HR is often an impediment to attracting and keeping talent. HR recently mishandled an opportunity to move a key employee to satellite office near the customer. Some middle-level managers have lousy people skills, or are unqualified to manage much of anything.
