Pros

84 HQ is home to many talented and skilled individuals. It’s a great place for employees to start their careers, though some leave due to factors like pay, culture, growth opportunities, or job requirements. Despite these challenges, the teams at the base level work well together, and the company itself is very stable.

Cons

The culture at 84 HQ, especially at the professional level, can be quite toxic. There have been troubling comments from high-level executives and issues with HR handling complaints and compliance. Changes or concerns are often overlooked to maintain internal harmony. Management practices vary, with concerns about the effectiveness of those promoted into roles without relevant experience. Additionally, as a privately held company, 84 operates with a sense of impunity, which could lead to significant long-term issues if scrutinized by federal organizations. The company operates on a "what have you done for me lately" approach, prioritizing reciprocity based on meeting their immediate needs and expectations.

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
