Pros

They are a DoD Company dedicated on providing the best possible support to the US Navy. They offer a great deal.

Cons

Although they are great to work for, as a contractor one is limited to the customer being supported and personal goals may not line up.

Pros

Good client site locations. Good work/life balance Good health plans Clietn side work can be very interesting but not because there is direction from corporate HQ.

Cons

Substandard benefits, always seem as though they are trying to pay the consultants as little as they can. Overall lack of communication regarding bids and future of specific contracts. Do not involve the employees in building the business, as if to say, hold on tight and hope for the best. Client site managers are good but corporate HQ seems out of touch with what goes on at the client site, to the extent that internal policies at HQ are pushed down to client side (non overhead) employees for whom the polices do not apply to. HR seems to make client side employees' lives more difficult not easier.

Pros

Good benefits, minimal corporate red tape to deal with due to work integration with military service client. Appraisals are based on self-analysyis of goals, compared with supervisor perspective. Client is relatively undemanding, but usually very pleased with level of contractor support.

Cons

Site program managers are uninvolved with staff; allow known sub-performers to consistently get by with minimum workload, tolerates unprofessional behavior such as Internet surfing/televison viewing during work hours, lengthy BS sessions, and flex hours that allow employees clock in at work even though primary data systems are not available until an hour or two later. More emphasis on completing time cards than ensuring actual work is being done by contractor staff. Tends to hire personnel solely to fill client vacancies in contract. Recognition program relies on weak client recognition program to identify "contractor of the quarter"
