Business Outlook

Pros

Good work when available. This is nothing more that a giant contract house, with o/t and ability to work weekends is a plus.

Cons

Don't take this position unless you need the work , once the project is finished they begin to get rid of everyone, including directs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overseas paychecks when deployed. Working with soldiers. Annual raises. Recognition for accomplishments. Veteran heavy workforce (yet Veterans Day is still considered a work day).

Cons

Almost non-existent advancement opportunities. Overseas opportunities drying up. JOAPs (Job Opportunity Already Promised). One company segregated into multiple factions that don't like working with each other.

Pros

Gained great experience - although painful at many times. 9/80 schedule.

Cons

employee moral is very poor. Very little meaningful training. No mentoring. Job was learned via baptism by fire. Upper management out of touch with issues that could easily be fixed if they became more involved. Too many metrics that were often gamed to make them look good to the customer. OT paid only to certain groups of employees at $25,00 per hour - usually less than what any one employee made per hour. Lots of red tape! Good ole' boy environment. Very little flexibility in work schedule. GDLS flex time is not the flex time that other companies offer. If you take an hour of personal time, you are expected to make it up!
