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

Can be a fun either a fun Job or an Immediate realization, that you made a very bad decision. If you do not mind working with salty old ex-career military co-workers who think they are still serving and act accordingly, your golden. If youve never been around these people, it can take some adjustment.

Cons

No electronics depending upon where you work, if you work on the JT4 J-Tech II contract (which is a terrible contract). Arcata and JT4 work together, on this contract. Nepotism (wife and husband, mother and daughter) in many roles working in the same departments, to a degree so blantant, I have never seen or even heard of. Email Blasts/Reply All to companywide Email for announcments as trival as a BBQ party in a location hundreds of miles away - with nothing to do with you. If you travel - plan to pay for all expenses up front, out of your own pocket. You are then required to spell out exactly how you paid for your own travel amd any fees that Hotel chains typically charge. So yeah - be ready to pay your own way, if you travel for the company.
