Pros

Salary and benefits are excellent and competitive within industry. Flexible work schedule. Coworkers were generally professional and easy to work with.

Cons

Management at the site and executive level were not trustworthy and were not loyal to their employees. Company continues to compromise ethics and lacks professional leadership. The parent company fired the majority of its directors aftervtge latest merger and replaced them with the incoming company management.

Pros

okay-ish pay refused to rebid, after promising employees they would-so getting a new company is a pro

Cons

functional sections of the company do not function, ie. hr doesnt know how the health plan works, or who to talk to about it; finance paid some people every 2 weeks, others bi monthly, and just stopped paying and took money back without notice to 'fix the problem', also took pto with no notice; security for passing clearances etc is not proactive, badges at buildings get turned off, sometimes for multiple days-even weeks, losing work time; recruiters do not understand the job they are recruiting for, and have been known to call current employees in a seat, to offer them a job in that seat; pms not trustworthy, threaten to fire reserve and guard employees for carrying out military obligations, left key parts of job out until several weeks after employment started, ie. the billet is moving to germany, pm actively fought against employees going tdy

Pros

If you are only motivated by money, then this place is for you. But, be prepared for backstabbing, literally decisions made without a hint of understanding of ground truth and program managers saying, "I'm the alpha male, no one else is the alpha male, there is only one alpha male and I'm it..." Incompetence is beyond comical to the point of unbelievable. When Jason DeYonker cares nothing more than the bottomline it is an indicator for the culture of the organization.

Cons

Organization is solely motivated by money, period! Nothing more. Zero growth opportunities as a contractor. Program manager routinely lies, yes lies and is known as a lier. throughout the company and the client ranks. That he was employed with his pathological background clearly shows Constellis Group is solely motivated by money. Disrespects people and is known to do so routinely. Is allowed to do so cause of the contract is more important than Veteran employees. Does not take are of Veteran employees/contractors. Is not Veteran friendly. You are expected to bend over backwards for the company to fill billeting needs but little to no appreciation is given in return. You are used as a number and nothing more. DO NOT be fooled by false advertising. Constellis Group is 100% NOT Veteran friendly. Is known to verbally abuse employees. Scheduler does not return phone calls or emails.
