Pros

-Pretty good benefits -Networking opportunities -Options for telecommuting

Cons

Management at AEEC is not the best. Poor time and man management results hinders the success of projects and frequently leads to intense crunch periods that burn you out quickly. Little time devoted to working with subject matter experts which prevents a project from being as good as it can be. The company is content with piling on the duties of a recently departed employee onto the current staff instead of hiring replacements for those positions (wearing multiple hats is good, but eventually they begin to fall...). Unnecessary expectations to work all hours of the day that is unsustainable and leaves employees stressed and burnt out. All of this combined with uncomfortable statements about how everyone's job is at stake do not create a productive work environment and you can tell morale is low. Poor communication with the company's other locations also turns simple tasks into large, frustrating headaches. Lots of people have left the company in the past year, which is alarming. Experiencing lots of growing pains as a business.

Pros

None, low pay, and horrible, outdated benefits.

Cons

AEEC feels like a company in slow collapse. Management is messy, reactive, and clearly not aligned. The CEO did not seem to understand his own business development operation and mostly relied on buzzwords and stale past performance talking points in meetings instead of showing real leadership. The company seems to be held together by a very small number of people, with operations heavily dependent on one person out of state. I was hired to do one job and quickly got pushed into unrelated production partnership work I was not hired for and had little background in. The WOSB setup also raised concerns for me. Based on what I observed, the CEO’s wife was listed in that role but was not visibly involved in operations and appeared to serve mainly as the signatory. The bigger picture is a company that seems to have shrunk significantly and is now coasting while contracts expire. It did not feel stable, strategic, or well led.
