GDIT Government Contracting

Pros

As a government contractor the benefits are good. If you have clearance there are many positions available. Their internal job search site is not friendly or easy to use. The process of applying for a position online is cumbersome - the process needs to be simplified.

Cons

There is no longer bench time if you are dropped from a contract. GDIT cuts you loose immediately telling you to continue to look for another position with them as an external candidate; however, their job search site is not friendly or easy to use. Make sure to get the names of recruiters before you leave the company so you can contact them directly about jobs. As a current employee if you want to move within the company you can get added to a list to receive new positions by email each day. But that is the most support you can expect from them.

Pros

It's all about the customer. Your needs and opinion are not warranted. No matter of how much hard work and dedication you provide to this company, your needs are never important, even if this means that you are right, you are actually wrong when it comes to the customer.

Cons

Low pay. I actually saw some reviews that the pay was high, but don't believe this. I started with the company in 2012 and started out making $50,000 dollars per year for a job that should have been paying me near $70,000 starting pay. I never got a raise either year, in fact none of the other employees in my work place did not receive a raise either, it was horrible to think that a fortune 500 company like GDIT refused to give their employees raises, and on top of that you will not get any personal time off. One thing that really upset me was when it snowed in Georgia:Warner Robins AFB we had to use our personal holiday hours for days off, because the company did not want to cover the cost of employees taking or using alternative leave as an option, even though the Air force had already paid for those days. I never use a review to write a negative review but I want to caution anyone looking for employment with this company to be aware because I wish I had, and there are many people still working at Warner Robins GA who feel the same way, but they can't find employment anywhere else to get away.

Pros

There is very little out of office work with this employer as much of the tasks can only be completed on site. When you leave for the day, you leave the job behind. There is a good amount of opportunity to advance if you create a plan with your manager or supervisor and work that plan. Relationship building is key with any company including GDIT. This is a highly structured and disciplined company whose policies seem draconian in nature if you can not adapt to this environment.

Cons

The attrition rate is high as most employees seem to assume that time on the clock is their own personal free time; and approaching those employees, coaching them to comply and perform can often result with heavy pushback. There seems to be a push to fill the seat with anyone, although there has been slow change to hire those who will fully commit. There is a lack of empathy, and often that is felt throughout the CCO.
