Pros

Low workload, its military contracting. Insurance wasn't too bad, was cheaper and better than JT4. Great place to get your security clearance and then find a better job with Raytheon L3Harris(they poach people from here on the regular) Lockheed ect. You get the idea.

Cons

Read reviews for JT4 and JT3 this company is pretty much the same thing, same organization everything bad about that job, this job is actually worse. The commute is somehow worse, then JT4. Lots of people that were super happy to work here because it means they never had to learn anything new. *Note or disclaimer, my review applies to any job location in (Las Vegas, Tonopah, Beatty) Outside of these area's people seem to enjoy their work very much and it seems like its a differently run company, but I cannot say specifically. I will also note I did not have a problem with anyone specifically, the culture just sucked and the nature of the work sucked.

Pros

Employees are recognized in many ways for achievements.

Cons

After 11 years of being rated an excellent employee and receiving several awards and nothing negative in my file my wages were cut by $9,000 annually because they had trouble negotiating a contract without it being contested for three years. Employees cut, were paid a bonus to continue working the same job category so as to not disrupt the workforce. A take this offer or leave it was given. I was told to realize how fortunate I was that others no longer had a job. I earned my way to this position and should not have to feel like I am lucky to be able to continue. They have been careful to cover HR practices to cover themselves with statistics in this cut back not deliberate to age, sex, or gender. I was never told how they came to choose me after so faithfully serving them. Morale at this company is the lowest I have ever seen it.
