A Great Company being driven down by unethical irrational leadership of the last 3 years

Pros

The people. From Managers on down are the most dedicated coworkers you could ask for. They care about the products and each other. The products delivered to the US Army are the best in the world.

Cons

Latest culture shift from VP level is focused on short term gain. Its disrespectful to employees and gives up long term prosperity of the company for short term gain. Employee's are not assets but commodities.

Pros

Benefits, flex time, 9/80 Schedule, vacation

Cons

GDLS touts themselves as a Veteran Friendly Company however, each Layoff numerous Veterans whom were minorities. Comments made by several non-veterans were "why does the Company hire Veterans" taking jobs from others. Of the approximate 140 persons laid off in June 2011, 130 were a mix of veterans and minorities. Management was informed duting last performance evaluations to bring scores down. Evaluation numbers were lowered and this was use as why emphasis for laying those with lowered evaluation numbers to be laid off. No remedial training available or given for those whom management feels are less then average performers.
