Pros
-Excellent Benefits for Non-Exempt Employees including near fully subsidized Health Care. -Respectable Pay pursuant to the responsibilities. -Interesting and always evolving Project based work. -Very flexible scheduling depending on the Project you're working under. -Advancement possibilities due to hiring within the company.
Cons
-Management structure is deplorable. -Clear, near insulting, separation of who Westat deems "Educated" and "Uneducated" individuals. -New ideas and constructive critiques from Non-Exempt (Hourly) employees are shunned and looked down upon. -Very little, if any, personal engagement from the Project Leads and top tier Managers to the general employee population. Essentially ignore if possible, delegate if necessary.
