Excellent work/life balance, but sometimes too many rules

Business Outlook

Pros

Best work/life balance with the 9/80 schedule (work 9 hours a day, get every other Friday off). Co-workers are extremely helpful and want you to succeed.

Cons

Cost savings initiatives sometimes go to far. Management always finds ways to cut pennies rather than cut bigger items. There are a lot of processes that are slow because it's a Defense company.
