Pros

Salary, Clearance, and that's about it

Cons

Imagine a dumpster Fire, and no matter how much water you put on it, the fire keeps growing. Thats Inter-Con in a nutshell Let's start with Training. You literally have to pay to train. You spend two weeks in the Middle Of Nowhere, WV . Your options are either commute back in forth or shell out a couple hunder bucks for a hotel... and they don't reimburse you for it unless you live outside the National Capitol Region (NCR) I'm convinced that the management, Scheduling, and operations team is just 3 monkeys banging on pots and pans that collectively have two braincells, that never work at the same time. This place is an absolute joke of an organization. The company as a whole does not care about the wellbeing of their officers. If you were to croak at work they would probably show up to your funeral to write you up for not calling out properly.They only care about their bottom dollar because they consistenently underbid the contract everytime it comes up for re-bidding. They hire you for "Full Time" but your first 9 months are considered probationary, and you're not gurranteed 40 hours. Then they blow up your phone asking you to cover shifts that they need covered. However, good luck trying to pick up shifts because the process is a circus ran by monkeys. You have to call a phone number, leave a voicemail, capture a unicorn, and then bring back the holy grail and then MAYBE they'll call you back with the shift you wanted to pick up. If you want to overtime FORGET ABOUT IT. You only get overtime when it benefits them. They consistently have people that call off, and their solution is to hold you over until they find someone to come relieve you. Oh and if your refuse the holdover they will write you up and suspend you for up to 5 days. But then they'll still call you to pick up shifts.. ( See Previous paragraph for picking up shifts) They paint this pretty picture of bonuses and opportunity but God Forbid you tie your shoes wrong they will write you up and there goes your bonus. The ONLY upside to this job is they sponsor a TS clearance and the pay is solid. Starting out at about $87K there is definitely money to be made. BLUF: If this review didn't deter you and you still wanna apply here Follow these simple instructions 1. Get your money 2. Get Your Clearnance 3. LEAVE

Pros

They advertise diversity. They'll hire anyone. Not necessarily a positive.

Cons

Inter-Con is a corporate shell game, where every spoke in the wagon wheel is responsible for a different facet of the business (hiring, training, payroll, etc.) and no one seems to know what they are doing. Every single employee I have worked with has had a pay discrepancy. Several co-workers were given insufficient quantities or ill-fitting elements of their uniform, and told to buy their own, if they didn't have enough. Several employees were charged for uniforms that were suppose to be free. Inter-Con has spent months refusing to meet with our union, (because they have been running roughshod over the tentative contractual agreement in place) Inter-Con constantly hires new people, to cover shifts of full-time employees, so say goodbye to any overtime. Employees are being penalized by an arbitrary star system, which is suppose to punish unreliable employees, not tarnish the record of employees using a personal day, for personal reasons. Employees have been told that their excuse for missing work was not good enough. Every facet of what we do is organized by apps, and on cell phones. Inter-Con seems to have no sense whatsoever about the tasks and duties of an employee in the automotive industry.
