Pros

Fantastic location, Decent benefit package, Great coworkers.

Cons

Administrative onboarding was a JOKE, took 7 month to get me fully into the system. The first 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks I had no access to e-mail or computer use due to the fact they have ONE approving authority for CAC and building access badges. He was on travel during that time. Also the work order renewal and review process is ridiculous. They wait until the very last hour on the very last day of the contract suspense date to notify employees IF they have a job the next day...or if they will have to stay home/look for other work until the contract is renegotiated/approved and funded. NOT the way to show your customers(ARMY) or your employees that you value them or are committed in the least.

Pros

Rational, problem-solving focused, and minimal interference in work.

Cons

Can be pragmatic to the point of cold-heartedness. Due to being cost-focused, contract was significantly underbid and understaffed, leading to stretching of resources. Benefits are very minimal.
