Pros

Employer respects the employees, and communication is very good between management and the lowest level employee a very good place to work.

Cons

No negatives in my eyes MI is in a recession and they might track me down and fire me if I say something bad... But really this is a very nice place to work if I could change something I would say give the employees a raise every six months based on performance.

Pros

I worked as a contractor, they were fair at times. HR is very nice. Not very keen on letting you travel anywhere.

Cons

Raises are abysmal. No real contact with my supervisor at any times. Once they have you in a seat they leave you alone.

Pros

ESC contract is the engineering contract for NASA Johnson Space Center. If you are lucky, you get to work on pretty cool stuff. It is exciting and challenging with very interesting problems to solve. I really enjoy my time there. People are great and direct line manager is very flexible.

Cons

You can get stuck in a hole where you are too specialized to go anywhere else and your skills can sometimes become obselete. Old people with 1960's mentality sometimes, very hard for generation Y.
