Pros

This company is a joke

Cons

I've worked for the domestic and nuclear side, every person in management that was over me had absolutely no character. My teenager has more character than these goofs. I was expecting more from this company, but didn't happen. I served two tours to Iraq and figured this company would be worth a shot, wasn't worth my time. I would never advise anyone to work here.

Broken promises. Poor health benefits.

Pros

Hrs are good. Not much more.

Cons

No sick leave. No holiday pay unless you work that day. Very poor management, focuses on punishing all, like a poorly run military, rather than on fostering morale.

Pros

It is a job with steady pay.

Cons

Low Pay, Company encourages promotion from within but it is not true unless you are part of the "good ole boys," the office I am out of Westchester Illinois management and staff lie to you and are the most unqualified staff I have ever seen. Don't believe anything they say or promise because they lie and try to manipulate you. If you sexually harass employees or client and complaints are filed the employee doing the sexual harassment will get promoted to another site. The Management has not follow through. They violate the employees work rights and laws.
