Decent to start.

Pros

Good job security for somebody straight out of college. Definitely not somewhere you want to work for more than a couple of years. 6% 401k match.

Cons

Impossible to find parking without a 10 minute walk minimum, cops constantly ticketing or towing cars, salary is not competitive, raises are horrible, healthcare plan is horrible, they greatly undervalue prior experience particularly for reservists and guardsmen. They are inflexible with negotiating offers and cheap out. Bad company policy in case the government shuts down for more than 30 days so you won’t be paid for your drills when the LESs generate late.

Pros

Decent PTO, Company matches up to 6% of 401k contributions

Cons

Terrible communication at every level, non-degreed employees are ignored when it comes time for raises, they preach safety until there is need for speedy work, they will pinch pennies when it comes to the employees (safety, tools, etc.) and then waste millions by not communicating between departments
