Established company Military friendly Good benefits Decent time off People oriented Flexible schedule and very easy to communicate with management when needed

Cons

None so far.. maybe if you’re a reservist or guardsman they don’t match your pay past 10 days like larger companies, but still 10 days is better than none

Pros

Benefits - competitive pay and benefits, strong company culture focused on employees and their families. Opportunities - recognition of performance, real opportunities for advancement. Quality of work - focused on meaningful work in advanced technology areas. Company - employees are valued by a management staff that takes the time to understand what you do and why it is important to the company and the customer. Growth - HX5's focus on employees and customer missions have resulted in explosive company growth and expanded employee opportunities.

Cons

Government contracting often requires that employees be located in customer locations rather than a corporate facility. HX5 management understands this situation and goes out of their way to ensure every employee feels that the company is 100% behind them, regardless of work location.

Pros

- Upon taking over and expanding the existing task order in March 2015, the company (owner, executive VP, program managers) was exceptionally attentive to concerns of incumbent personnel and the government customer. When issues were identified, they were addressed quickly and the company was very open to addressing (compromising/making adjustments) those concerns. - The company support staff (HR, Payroll, Travel, Security, etc.) is uniformly exceptionally responsive to employee inquires, clarifications of company policies, and problems. They invariably respond back to voicemail and emails within hours or minutes and follow up in a vary timely manner. The HR staff is particularly stellar. - As the company presence in the Wright Patterson "market," they grew the local support office in a prudent and appropriate manner to support the increased employee base. The initial program management was geographically separated from the W-P vicinity but was very responsive and involved in spite of that limitation. As additional work was "won" and added, the company responded to have a W-P support office exceptionally well suited to oversee program management, staffing and support of increased work force and business base. - The company approach to staffing requirements has always been to work to fill positions with the right person with the right skill set to support the customer, never to just put a body in the position to meet the time requirement for filling vacant positions. - Having been a support contractor at W-P for over 23 years and having worked for six different companies over that time, I assess that HX5 is the best, most responsive, most employee friendly organization I have worked for. The above is only a sampling of the positive regard I have for HX5 and the leadership of the company, from the immediate, local program management and W-P program management staff up to the company executive leadership and owner -- who have shown personal interest and involvement in THIS task order and customer.

Cons

- The only minor "con" I will cite is the relative inconvenience of having the company headquarters and support staff located in Fort Walton Beach FL. In spite of this, as cited above, that staff is so responsive and professional that this is a relatively minor inconvenience.
