"We don't do that here..."

Pros

It's a good place to get some experience for your resume. If you're interested in the defense industry, this is the largest contractor in the world.

Cons

Pay quickly falls behind the rest of the industry (if you're an entry-level hire). Management is often dishonest, at least at this site. Ethics are a joke. The best quote I got was from a functional when asked about doing something other than paperwork security tasks. His response was "we don't do that [my field of expertise] here..." I found a new job a few weeks later and submitted notice. Despite the acknowledgment, they're confused as to why I'm leaving. When I came here 2 years ago, this site (King of Prussia / Valley Forge) had over 12,000 employees on the campus. Last month it was revealed that there are about 3,500. This site is being starved to death (i.e., if you aren't in VA, CO, or CA, you don't really matter).

Pros

Benefits are solid and there is some flexibility in the working environment

Cons

Schedules start 2-3 months behind, so you are always on OT

Pros

Flexible hours allow you to work as you please. You can come in and leave whenever you like as long as you stay within the guidelines. Another pro are the great benefits including insurance, vacations, and 401K

Cons

Most of your business comes from government, so it relies on government spending. Another con is they offer certain benefits to entice you to join, such as Summer Flex (which allows you to take every other Friday off) but you are not encouraged to actually do so
