Good starting point. Your mileage may vary on whether you stay

Cost analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Ridiculous amount of knowledge you'll pick up here. You'll learn lifecycle cost management from nearly every perspective, and the team you'll work with is very liberal with allowing you to take on advanced responsibilities.

Cons

The pay is abysmal. I don't think Tecolote even has a cost of living adjustment for the DC metro area. The pay I received there was comparable to a similar position in the midwest. You can't pay the rent on that.

Good company, Great benefits

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The medical and retirement benefits at Tecolote are among the best I have seen in my career work experience. Employer contributed retirement is very rare these days.

Cons

The nature of the business model of Tecolote is to acquire government contracts. In this contracting environment that is extremely challenging with the changing rules for government contracting this will continue to be an issue.
