Think about joining, then DON'T
Pros
Pay is a bit more than just OK. It's a job. What else can I say?
Cons
GDIT is all business and no heart. The time off is given out in little bits per each day that you work. You don't get say, 20 days off per year, plus holidays, all at the start of the year. No, you have to wait for little slices of time to all add up so you can finally have a vacation or days off. Things have gotten worse since the merger with another company, I hear from current employees. Also, don't ever expect GDIT to help out if a family member of yours gets a disease or needs long term care. GDIT will expect you to be at work all day, every day. Just be prepared to be chained to the oar and rowing all the time. Personal time? Naw. Will they even give you a card when someone in your immediate or extended family dies? Forget it. Oh, and if you happen to be a person of color or other protected class, remember that I have heard persons who are not in a protected class making off-color and thick-skinned jokes, making fun of others in their groups, disrespecting gender differences, and the whole gamut of unacceptable behaviors. Then, they turn around and 'slap down' anything that they imagine to be out of order from people who are of color, or of a different gender than 'white males.' The most cold and heartless place that I have ever worked. Worse than IBM by a long shot. Worst run place, ever. They like to tout how great they are, but money is their ONLY GOAL. People can be stepped on and they don't give a hoot.
