Pros

Very diverse group of people, projects and clients. If you find the right Project Manager or Supervisor, you can get involved on just about any type of project you may be qualified for.

Cons

Constant concern of losing your job, especially if you aren't at least 85% billable. Company is quick to put staff on modified full or modified part time if not continually highly billable....if you're lucky.

Pros

The benefits for the position that I am in are more than fair compared to most other companies. Tuition assistance, training reimbursement, great healthcare plan, and great staff.

Cons

Confusing ideals. Volatile interoffice relations. Issues with certain people overstepping the bounds of their position. Training issues. Management ignorance.
