Pros

The Pro's was the pay. I worked with some very good people that cared about their work. The food and MWR was good.

Cons

The Cons were I did not have enough vacation time. It is very hard being away from your family. I could have stayed for a long time if I had more vacation time.

Pros

Laid back, no huge expectations, easy to satisfy management. Pay is adequate at my skill level and the coworkers and management are easy to get along with.

Cons

IT is not focused on building a comprehensive performing system. Instead everything is a one off application just get it done as quickly as possible.
