Pros

none, and don't pay any attention to the company response, it is far from honest or genuine.

Cons

The company was a subcontractor here in Vermont for the Homeland Security Tip line, there was no leadership, concern for employees or communication with the client. Pay was $15.00 hr/ the company charged the client more then double. All workers got was two 15 minute breaks per day. In April we were told the contract would run until September, everyone was laid off in May.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we are sincerely sorry your experience wasn't as positive as it could have been. Please understand there are many dynamics involved in government contracting, and we try to avoid negatively impacting our staff at all costs when it comes to compensation and funding. The company has prided itself on setting the tone for true open dialogue between the corporate office and our remote locations, and will look to further enhance this moving forward in light of your concerns. We certainly understand the frustration with a contract ending early and with little notice, but welcome you back should a position be of interest to you in the future.

Pros

1. They thoroughly review your resume and appropriately match your skill set to the positions they have available. 2. There are opportunities to move up once you’ve developed the skills to do so. 3. You’re well compensated for referrals and establishing any new contract opportunities.

Cons

Could have a more competitive benefits package but it certainly not the worst.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! One thing to note about our benefits that you may not be aware of: XLA has kept the exact same rates for medical benefits that our employees contribute for three (3) straight years. XLA is absorbing the increased cost and is not passing it through to our employees. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and let us know if you need anything!
