Pros

Location convenient to Laurel and 495.

Cons

The IT department is completely mismanaged, poorly trained mid level managers, security that is poor. Strict standards on employee reviews, known as PA's are counterproductive, intimidating and lower morale. Turnover is legendary, whole groups of employees were let go in the past.

Quasi government agency with its share of bureaucratic malaise and optimism

Business Outlook

Pros

Beautiful building, workspace, free parking, and a crew of smart professionals with passion to do the right thing by their internal and external customers - despite any and all brick walls. Effort underway to integrate all departments to operate efficiently. Incredible strategists and industry thought-leaders. Workplace allows for introductions to political, education, business and government affiliate representatives. Great environment to enhance project management skills and development of personal "Best Practice" model.

Cons

A few inexperienced mid-level professionals are often left unchecked by senior management. Lends opportunities for less than favorable working conditions. Non-existent work-life balance. Majority of committed managers and front-line workers operating in fear-based work environment often creates chaotic, disorganized approach to work outcomes.
