Business Outlook

Pros

The schedules are set for DC workers, vacation is fair, standard benefits, employee discount

Cons

Management is inexperienced and hired right from grad school. The young age of management often brings drama, as management will relentlessly pursue rumors. Communication is mostly non-existent. Policies will change often without employees being notified, policies will be violated by management and be excused because of "business needs." Management documents all events and conversations. Very strict micro-management of workers.

Pros

Reliable, fair and and very polite workplace.

Difficult to progress in your career because of major excess red tape and hoops to jump thru. Insist on the title you want at hire. Promotion promises are sincere but not backed by reality.
