No true leadership.

Pros

If you are part of management, you will be taken care of

Cons

They laid off an entire shop of employees during hurricane Florence evacuation. That pretty much explains how much they don’t care about their non supervisor employees. Communication is absolutely terrible.

Depends on the Project Manager

Pros

Have had a long run with the company and not without its rough spots. In the last 2 years many poor managers have been either weeded out or left for other companies. Now government contracts are requiring persons to have degrees and certifications which is making the company look at qualifications rather than who one is related to or grown up with. Larger and more stable contracts are becoming more relevant. Now people can take the time to go to school and get the credentials that can take them beyond contracting. The jobs are really not that hard. Depending on the project, overtime can be exhausting or non-existent.

Cons

The overall project manager can make the work environment relaxed or unbearable. The good ole boy club is not dead yet. Ex-marines and navy submariners control most of the management positions. Relation will get preferential treatment as with women with above average looks. They just have to show up to work to keep a job. Government employees view the people doing the work as second (management) and third class (workers) citizens. Government bureaucracy makes everything take longer than it should. Government employees typically demand work done outside of contract specifications. The government employee is always right.
