Pros

No choice - they are now a subcontractor in Lockheed Martin's recently awarded Antarctic Support Contract.

Cons

Terribly prepared to transition into Antarctic contract. Embarrassing to be a hiring manager and have to apologize to my employees over and over and over for the lack of professionalism and expertise coming from their new boss.
