Government Contractor

Pros

Paid federal holidays. Typical government contractor in terms of job stability. The company is one of the best at what they do--great career opportunities for people in those fields. SNA has a great mission and does meaningful work. Some staff at the corporate office are helpful and supportive.

Cons

Job satisfaction may be dependent on which contract you are on and your program manager/supervisor. Career progression can be limited by contract requirements/labor categories.

Pros

One of few companies hiring anthropologists My coworkers are incredibly intelligent, hardworking, and supportive

Cons

Retention: little interest, company does not offer bonuses, promotions, or cost of living increases; occasional 1-3% merit raises available once a year; one raise at 3 years; no increase in PTO between 3-10 years Benefits: Healthcare costs are very high for families/ dependents, no paid parental leave Communication: hesitancy to commit to policies in writing, difficult to communicate with management and CEO Growth: no opportunities for career advancement; few transferable skills developed Gender equity: working to improve pay transparency, history of underpaying qualified scientists who lack negotiation skills Work culture: morale suffers from pay inequities, especially between federal and contractor staff Scientific rigor: do not provide incentives for professional development or certifications; vacant positions are not filled quickly; do not offer salaries that would attract the most qualified personnel Compensation: generally scientists are under-compensated, with several Master's and PhD level analysts struggling to make ends meet

It's like working for the Wal-Mart of intellectuals

Pros

There is an atmosphere among colleagues that is supportive; however, this is not cultivated by SNA, it's cultivated by the employees themselves who choose to create and maintain an atmosphere that is supportive of each other's diversity.

Cons

They list direct deposit as a "benefit." My adjusted gross income is so low that my children qualify for medicaid and we supplement our income with food stamps and government assistance programs. Their annual raises are not given to everyone and they don't give cost of living increases to adjust for inflation. The work you are required to do is exactly the same as government employees who make $30k more annually than you and have benefits that can support a family. The company prefers to hire younger individuals with less education and no experience so they can pay them less which leads to longer training periods and higher turnover.

Our company follows a structured and transparent process when making a job offer. We extend a formal offer letter to the candidate, clearly outlining the terms and conditions of employment, including salary, benefits, and any other pertinent details. We provide candidates ample time to review the offer and make an informed decision. If the candidate accepts the offer, we consider it a mutual commitment and honor the terms in the offer letter. For raises, we aim to reward performance. At our company, we firmly believe in the principles of voluntary employment. We value the autonomy and agency of our employees, and we never force anyone to accept a job offer. We foster a culture of respect, transparency, and fairness, ensuring that our employees can make choices that align with their professional aspirations.
