Pros

I recently left my position at CSC (King George, VA) to continue grad school full-time, but that's the only reason I left. Here's a list of what I enjoyed at my office: Flexible hours (as long as I get my work done in ~40 hours, I could work any schedule I wanted) Peaceful, productive, and family-like work environment among co-workers and leaders/management Management was diligent to bring in new work for us DoD contractors Pretty good benefits Opportunities to travel (traveled to Naval bases in Japan, Hawaii, San Diego, Florida; I was able to stock up on HiltonHonors points from all of my travel and then redeem them for a week's stay at the Hilton Waikiki!!!; also accrued Delta miles and redeemed it for a flight to San Francisco for a family trip) Management recognizes good work (as well as poor performance) I've always had good performance reviews, so raises were pretty good considering the economy

Cons

My biggest complaint dealt with CSC's travel policy. An exempt employee can only charge travel hours during normal business hours. So, if it's Friday afternoon and your government customer wants you to travel to Japan that day, then you cannot charge time after about 5PM on Friday. That doesn't seem right.

Pros

Good benefits including 401(k) with company match.

Cons

Unrealistic workload. The pay does not match the amount of stress that comes from the amount of work given. They are hiring new employees for the same role offering about $30k-$40k more than they pay those who have been there for years instead of compensating current employees fairly. Management is out of touch. They are so focused on numbers that they cannot clearly see the internal issues that are compromising relationships with customers.
