Intelligence Analyst - Anonymous employee Zel Technologies Employee Review

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. I welcome you to come by the Program Management Office (PMO) any time to discuss your concerns. I admit that I am disheartened by your comment of "Giving better pay would encourage employees to actually care about what they do." Every employee has accepted their offer of employment that is on task. If their current pay prevents them from giving 200% of their effort to support the deployed warfighter than I would request that they move on to a position that better suits them and our customer. Additionally every analyst is required to complete a qualification in the position they are hired to fill. If they do not pass to the standards established then they do not fulfill the requirements of employment. An inability to type to the speeds required and use Microsoft will be a limited factor in obtaining qualification. Please keep in mind that there are various levels of skill on this contract ranging from Junior to Subject Matter Expert. Some analysts will enter at the Junior level and will progress as they become more experienced through the ranks, however no one hired is brought on without meeting the requirements established by the contract and our proposal of work for the level they are hired to fill. We welcome candid feedback, and identification of challenges and opportunities to improve. As for no incentive to upgrade or opportunities for growth we have provided numerous opportunities to promote from within, transfer qualified candidates to other positions and roles, and provide both Quarterly/Annual/Spot bonuses for top performers on your task. If you feel you are not given a fair shake, or feel uninformed of opportunities, please let us know. I suggest you have a conversation with your immediate and team supervisor to discuss these concerns. I always encourage employees to use their chain of command at the work centers first, however we have an open door policy at the PMO if you have done so unsuccessfully. We always welcome the discussion of areas we can improve our employee support and better our capabilities to perform for our customers. Sincerely, Christopher A.
