Pros

Marginal Benefits, friendly people, great colleagues.

Cons

No opportunity for growth within the organization, only positions open to outside applicants. Can only really get ahead if you leave and then come back. Not a fair process and HR really cares nothing for the employees.

Pros

+ Decent Annual salary + Good Benefits + Some really intelligent colleagues + Telecommuting options within some departments + Great amount of Paid Time Off

Cons

- No transparency in management to employee communication - Very little employee engagement. Management focus is primarily on "financial" numbers, their own hidden agendas, rather than putting the focus/attention on their "team" and helping to make them become successful. - Too many short sighted "managers" and very little in the way of actual "Leaders" - Very little experiential learning opportunities. High promotion of SkillPort or other "online" webinars/videos advertised as "educational" tools. - Reorganization every other year. - Company values do NOT align with actual business practices. Focused primarily on "customer" satisfaction and very little focus on employees (no engagement or development). - HR has very little investment or direction in terms of L&D, OE, or succession planning. - No Strategic Workforce planning. - Supply Chain "leadership" is nonexistent (at least in the MS Sector). McLean and Annapolis Junction locations are delusional in regards to leadership, employee engagement, or employee development. This is a very TOXIC environment. - Engagement Survey bandaids (short sighted thinking will never fix the problem)
