Business Outlook

Pros

Management makes a serious attempt to keep workflow consistent to stabilize personnel levels. They will transfer personnel between various contracts to keep experienced talent. The more you know; the better your chance for staying employed through lean periods.

Cons

There is a tendency toward nepotism. The company occasionally hires managers that are totally inept with respect to production. For talented individuals to advance; they must be able to tolerate these periods of incompetent leadership.
