      Great Management and Learning Opportunities

      Subcontract administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Management is open to feedback and ideas for continuous improvement -Great work/life balance -Many opportunities to collaborate and improve processes because management gives you the freedom to pursue your ideas -Great company start out as a college graduate

      Cons

      -Low salaries, HR based it on the “Harvard” method where everyone is close within the pay scale. I’m not sure if this is true, but it is really hurting GA in keeping top performers.

      Low pressure, low salaries

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Manager was amazing Project was decently fulfilling Worklife balance was excellent, like 100/100 perfect score, no joke Labs were a mess, I got to help make them better which was nice Very diverse workforce, I got to work with tons of women and folks whose English wasn't great, which helped me learn to communicate more effectively

      Cons

      They laid me and 16 other people off 3 weeks before Christmas (lmao) Defense contract work is always a crapshoot, if the work isn't won, you're out on the street Your program might be mismanaged, I got lucky(ish) Job duties took a while to align with advertised duties Salaries are designed to be uncompetitive to keep wages low Yearly raises are awarded on a merit system (up to your manager) Only so many above average raises handed out every year

      Positive work environment

      Composite technician

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great schedule and good benefits. Time off whenever you want it as long as you have time saved up.

      Cons

      Horrible raises, can never move up unless you’re related too someone high up. Politics 100%. The only way to move up is to move around from position to positions. Unless of course, if Daddy works there than you’re set. Even if you suck at your job.
