"Racist and opportunistic people"

Pros

Is nothing to give as a good review to this company when they don't care to the employees who they work hard that anything else. Racist

Cons

People don't let you move on they only you work everyday and that's it. After 15 years work for the they took always my benefits and cut my hours with the excuse that operation were low. If upper management doesn't like you, believe me you are not going anywhere.

Terrible company run by cut throat upper management regionally and at Reston

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a check even other week, free horrible food, medical that cost too much

Cons

Racist group in upper management regionally and in HQ thst don't care about management. If you don't say yes sir or not be a yes man you are blacklisted. Worked there 20 years and never felt part of a team just a pawn in the game. Very low moral in management ranks. No merit raises, no bonus, nada. So get your money up front because no more is coming. Any good reviews you see are from the HR group in Reston so don't believe the hype. Company does not pay bills because they want to show cash on the the books meanwhile phones in the units are ringing off from vendors that are not paid. Accounts payable in Reston which is headquarters pays only when vendors threaten legal action or stopping services. Corporate security are a bunch of retired law enforcement people who still think they are cops, pitiful uncaring group of terrible people.
