Pros

It's a good place for when you are young to start and get a foot in the door towards something better.

Cons

#1) A lot LOT of mismanagement, not a very well organized company. Seems as if they they are biting a lot more than they can chew but they do it anyway. #2) For the last year I was there, there was no overtime allowed because of budget issues which really hurt me and others financially as they pay you not enough to live on off the bat. #3) There are always scheduling problems so for your first year or so expect to be called to many different sites and I can guarantee that they will be further away than you told them you were willing to travel to.

Pros

Very kind staff and takes care of veterans. A lot of opportunities to get extra hours and shifts.

Cons

I suppose the only con is not a lot of overtime since high Table of Organization (T/O).

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
