Pros

Some folks are good to work with

Cons

All functions including finance, program management and other areas quickly promoting directors and senior leaders to positions that do not meet the minimum qualifications and they lack a basic understanding of program requirements. Constantly re-organizing but consistently making poor decisions in organization effectiveness. Complete lack tools, processes and standards making it extremely difficult to run successful programs. The facility is literally falling apart at the seams and is unhealthy. High stress, little rewards, long hours and constantly changing management that do not understand the basics of your job. There are much better contractors to work for that offer competitive wage.

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
