      Pros

      Every day brought a new set of challenges to work through. I had a great team of engineers, logisticans and technicians. Enjoyed working with peers and had a great mentor.

      Cons

      Government Contracting is a tough business. Many customer funding issues due to past Governement contracting problems. Company lacked business processes to help streamline operations. Serious need to update financial system that could provide data to run the business.

      Potential for growth, competition with the "Big Boys" of the defense world, but small-minded management.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people to work with; good opportunities for advancement; employees' growth and development was appreciated and (usually) rewarded, but not supported. If you wanted to advance, it was up to you to figure out how and to acquire (and pay for) the necessary training, skills, certifications, etc.

      Cons

      Long hours, poor pay; unevenness of treatment of employees hurt morale; inability/refusal to invest in training/tools/salaries, etc., was preventing company from the company from moving forward.

      Pros

      You get paid on-time. Management actually showed up one time; very briefly

      Cons

      Tri Star Engineering actually discriminates with their employees: my experience saw some 'special' employees, all who were working on the same contract, be allowed to telework / telecommute, while the rest of us had to go to the client site, day-in and day-out. The company HR didn't even apologize for this! They actually see no problem with allowing this blatant discrimination to occur.
