Pros

- Great work environment - Most in leadership were excellent ... the few who weren't caused some issues, but they were eventually replaced. - Excellent benefits - Leaders ensured workforce was aware of company's focus, vision and strategy

Cons

- Long hours if involved in producing proposals. I regularly worked 70-80 hour weeks when we were working on submitting a proposal. Nice annual salary suddenly becomes a poor hourly salary when working these hours. Fortunately, it was only 3 months or so out of the year. - Retired Army generals are not always the best action/project managers. Particularly those who surround themselves with an entourage of "worker bees" - people who work hard to cover the general's glaring lack of knowledge. - Upward mobility was lacking in most areas.
