Pros

Dear Potential Candidate, I do not have any pros to offer you. I urge you to apply elsewhere.

Cons

Heavy micro-management. Highly disorganized including the government client SRI answers to and received prior funding to finance the CRBC contract. Instructions (policies, SOPs, guides, etc.) change at least twice a week so keep your head on swivel and be ready to conform to confusion and asinine changes. Be ready for the constant headaches - especially on Fridays because that's when they like to notify you of last minute changes in which you will have to re-re-review a thousand records because someone at another location messed up a file. Now, everybody has to pay the price. I don't blame the BCA who messed up because I know it's not their fault due to ever-changing policies and NO ONE was trained. Note: Don't be fooled by the "great reviews" - that's someone within the company who is still on payroll and has to give a response and false-positive review to counteract the poor reviews. Look at the dates SRI responds. Read the review, and you will find two different tones - the TRUE statements from ACTUAL EMPLOYEES and the COUNTERACT statement/review from the company. Most of the items the company "attempts" to include in order to counteract poor reviews include when the company won the contract, their certification, how many great reviews from government customers they received, etc. Employees do not care about that data. I noticed many people complained about pay and SRI's response was the DOL determines the wages under SCA; however, as true as that is, what SRI WILL NOT tell you is that the wage is the minimum they have to offer you. They can offer more, but they will not so don't expect it. There are NO pay raises regardless the length of tenure. Advice: If you're going to work a contact, research top DoD contractors in your area. SRI is no where near the top or on the list at all. Research the top companies attributes and what interests you, then review those of SRI and make a decision that's best for you and your situation.

Strategic Resources Inc. (SRI) has been in business over 30 years with continued growth and success each year. SRI is honored to support many mission critical DoD Programs. However, support of these programs requires commitment from our staff to ensure SRI remains a trusted mission partner with in support of our customers and the service members and their family we serve. In appreciation for employee commitment, SRI shows appreciation to its employees through our incentive program, special awards, and recognition programs. The healthcare industry continues to have cost that increase each year; however, SRI has been able to offset these costs by covering the majority of the premium cost for our employees (on non-SCA contracts). An example of this commitment is evidenced by SRI’s corporate management team deciding to absorb the 2019 increase in health insurance cost so employees would not have to pay any additional premiums. We understand each employee may have a different experience when working for any company. But we believe our 30+ years in business, with continued success in the federal marketplace is evidence of SRI’s commitment to both our employees and customers.

SRI conducts New Hire Orientation training sessions several times each month to welcome new employees to the company and to communicate information regarding competitive benefits package available to all eligible employees along with other benefits. Based on the Government contract an employee is supporting, the benefit packages may be administered differently; but again, this information is shared during orientation and we have a benefits team that is available to further discuss any details. In support of the Military and Family Life Counselor contract, the wages and benefits are subject to the Department of Labor Service Contract Act (SCA) which dictates the hourly wages and health and welfare payout (which can be used to cover the cost of company benefits). We are disappointed after numerous trainings that some employees do not understand the SCA and the wages and benefits associated. However, SRI must remain compliant with the SCA, government regulations and labor laws. Additionally, at SRI, we want our employees to excel not just for our customers; but, for their personal achievements and we provide incentives to encourage employees to do so. Many individuals within SRI have been promoted to senior level positions, based on their performance. Opportunities for growth are always available as long as the employee has the drive and the willingness to take on the responsibilities of that position. SRI values every employee and when appropriate, monetary and/or non-monetary recognition, special events and personal mentoring are all offered as incentives. Lastly, SRI values open communications and transparency with new candidates and current employees. When a potential offer for employment exceeds the current position’s standard, the offer has to receive approval from SRI executives and sometimes the government, for special considerations. We do not make guarantees when approvals are needed, but always communicate the possibility of various outcomes.
