Pros

- Pay is competitive - Interesting and varied work opportunities - Corporate offices would be great to work for (consider a transfer opportunity if you can relocate) - Management is competent and experienced in the field

Cons

- Many changes/acquisitions (in less than 5 years went from R.W. Beck to SAIC to SAIC EE&I to Leidos) - Low job security: Wisconsin is a satellite office that hinges primarily on a few large contracts. When those are in jeopardy or up for bid, things get tough. - Feast and famine - expect insane hours when contract goals are behind, yet be prepared for periods of extremely slow work when contracts budgets are tight (yet there is pressure to be billable at all times) - While management is very experienced, they have at times been lacking in the "people" side of managing. Unfortunately, very apparent during times of change, which are frequent here. Overall, if job security is important to you, I can't recommend this office...

Pros

Pay. As a remote worker the starting pay is higher than most remote companies ive worked for. Training is well you get out of it what you make of it honestly. If you dont pay attention its hard to follow. Some trainers are helpful others honestly have smart remarks and comments though...

Cons

Trainers. If you dont get a good one it will hinder you when you go on the floor and take calls. Contract to contract. If the company doesnt get the contract you dont have a job anymore. There is no such thing as job security in a government contract position.
