Pros
Program Manager is best I have worked for. They also do a good job of selecting solid lower level supervisors, i.e, direct supervisor, team leader. I loved all of my supervisors. My direct supervisor was also one of the best I have ever had. They praise you when you do well, and let you know when you fall short. The Shalimar location (Hurlburt Field contract) is also a great place for less experienced analyst to gain work experience. You can't beat the location either! Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre Beach, Pensacola Beach, all very close and where workers reside; so, its within driving distance. Personally, I had some issues arise where I had to essentially miss for over a month. The management worked with me so well and I came back to work with all of the support you could ask for. You could tell they legitimately cared about my well being. I would still be working there if my personal issues hadn't taken precedent.
Cons
Health Care benefit premiums - specifically family - were outrageous at my time of employment (2015 - 2016). I know they were doing their best to rectify the issue, so it is possible they are much lower. Any other cons were at the hands of the government and not Zel's fault. It is a government contract; that's the way it is. Some people (contractors) do not have the ability (or don't care to) distinguish the two, in my experience.
