Pros

Vacation time is plentyful, rotating work weeks having every other Friday off.

Cons

DRS will not provide any knowledge to employees on what the pay ranges are in your salary grade scale. They lack providing opportunities and feedback on what you must accomplish to be eligable for promotions. DRS management changes the written policy guidence on a whim. The benefits are great but basic pay compensation is lacking and the average annual pay raise is less then 3%. Travel policy changes from per-diem to no perdiem on a whim. If traveling for the company you are left defending every buisiness expense charge down to explaining what you ate for dinner and if it was a reasonable meal even if it comes under the actual and reasonable policy.

Pros

They are a growing company in a very exciting market. If you are interested in taking on a challenging role, and willing to sacrifice extra time outside of normal operating hours, you can gain some valuable skills and build your technical tool kit.

Cons

Company makes huge profits, but doesn't reward employees with any kind of profit sharing or substantial raises. Many of the senior employees have a disgruntle attitude or you might say a chip on their shoulder. Information is hard to come by and communications are very compartmentalized.

Pros

This company seems very stable. The benefit package offered to full-time employees is exceptional for this area. Every employee can choose the medical plan fits their own needs. The co-pay is fair for each plan. I haven't seen too many employees who have a difficult time catching on to the job get fired. The company would rather help most through their difficulties and keep them employeed.

Cons

Pay rates for factory employees are not as good at this location, as other divisions of DRS. Priorities for getting things done seem to be a problem. Things that are important seem unimportant. As long as when visitors come in and it looks good, it passes. Evaluations are not rated on job performances but on a "popularity" basis. Communication with H.R. is difficult. Sometimes no response at all.
