Pros

There are no Pros. If you need a paycheck for a few months this may be for you.

Cons

Walt Bolton and Joe Banach are two of the worst businessmen you will ever find. It is a miracle they have stayed in business this long, although they do have over 3 million dollars in debt. You know its bad when they owners are putting 50k into the company every other week to make payroll. Collections call on a daily basis and they do not pay their bills. It is a regular occurrence for vendors and subcontractors to call and ask for a payment that is 150+ days old. The VA is very well aware of there business practices and has said they will not award them any more work. They have also been cut off by their bonding company which will not allow them to bond any new work anywhere. Walt Bolton will paint you a different picture but do not believe his lies, do your own research and understand who you are dealing with. The other reviews are very true and and they do not treat people with respect.

Pros

Joe Banach. Half day Friday's. Decent benefits. Huge growth potential.

Cons

Walt Bolton. Rude, unprofessional, believes in the mantra that "The beatings shall continue until morale improves." Does not pay subcontractors or vendors on time. Micromanages everyone to the nth degree. No autonomy to allow anyone to make decisions. Due to high turnover, with Walt being the common denominator, projects are constantly being reassigned, thus causing them to be late and over budget. Huge disconnect between estimating and what it costs to actually perform the project. Personnel get assigned multiple tasks that takes away from their real job. Empathy must be felt for the employees who manage to stay or decide not to resign on their own accord. No appreciation is ever shown for ones efforts. Everything is a priority and it becomes organized chaos.
