Pros

Excellent Benefits, including full medical, dental, retirement and 401K and tuition reimbursement and a 9/80 work schedule which gives us every other Friday off.

Cons

Entry level salaries very low. Annual raises avg. 3% to a max of 5% per year. Impossible to reach competitive pay within the company if start as entry level. Good for getting experience but company looses a lot of brilliant minds due to non--competitive wages. Some departments are very top heavy with multiple layers of management with one manager per 5 staff members. Not enough workers and too much management Many employees work in excess of 60 hrs. a week. Salaried employees expected to work until work is done without additional pay, but if they are sick are required to take CAL or go unpaid just like and hourly person.

Pros

awesome people, great benefits, relaxed environment, quick rotations for deployments, work load is spread out evenly and fairly to everyone.

Cons

Deployment rate if you don't like being gone/away from family, some miscommunication between HQ and job site locations, not a lot of room for growth or transitioning to other positions.
