Pluspunten
- Excellent 401K plan and health insurance - Flexible work schedule (for the most part) - The president of the company is pretty awesome. During the 2013 shutdown, he covered about 90% of our forced time off through advance time off and liberal use of the training hours. It definitely helped a lot of people. - There have been a few instances where the company has floated incoming employees while they await contract start dates. I don't know if this has happened in recent months, but I've heard of three or four individuals who were on overhead prior to contract work. This is great. - The company is getting to the point where it can prime some contracts - this is a good sign.
Minpunten
- Lack of communication. Enough said. - Salary. Prior to the sequester and shutdown, the salary figures were already slightly below average. Most families are two-income families. If the employee prefers a higher salary or more time off and forgoes the retirement/insurance packet, give them that option. - Some of the senior management. Like the previous review stated, it seems that the company is being set up to get as much money as possible from a potential sale. Fiscally, I understand it. HOWEVER, some of the senior management come from the "big" consulting companies and it seems that they are out of touch with the realities of the "regular" employee. Then again, I could be wrong and there could be a reason for all this, but then it circles back to communication. If there are no "all hands" meetings to discuss the fiscal health of the company or recent occurrences with contracts, employees WILL speculate and WILL assume the absolute worst. - As with most consulting jobs, it's a little difficult to move up/around.
