Good compensation but poor work environment.

Mechanic s-2

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very well paid relevant to required skill level and accountability. Oppurtunity for travel and 6 figure earnings. Meaningful work supporting soldiers.

Cons

Heavy sacrifice for those with families. Waste of tax dollars. Poor mangement and accountability for coworkers. Growth depends on continued conflict. Major contractions seem inevitable.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people trying to do a good job despite senior managment. Supporting the soldiers in the field.

Cons

Micro-management Communications Senior Management Workers are not listened to. Only senior management has the answer - at least they think so.

It Gets Worse Every Day

Manufacturing engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is simply just a job to go to, however, alternating Friday's off make it bearable. Holidays off are good, usually around 2 weeks at Christmas.

Cons

Bloated in VP's and Directors whose main concern is hitting their incentive compensation. Decision makers are complacent and unimaginative. Most waiting out time until they can retire. New generation of managers are carrying on with the same mindset as the old. Fixed price work will ultimately lead to the demise of this business unit due to lack of investment and future planning It is now a classic case study in how not to run a business.
