Pros
Strong team environment. Yes we have fun, we banter, but we also work our tails off and all have a common goal, Grow the company and gain personal financial stability. The work life balance is good - yes 7:00AM starts during the training program can be an adjustment, but it is extremely rare to be at the office any later than 5:00PM on the dot. The office remodel is modern and well thought out. The client list includes some of the most cutting edge military programs, medical device R&D leaders and other commercial electronic companies developing innovative tech. It may not resonate with some, but to feel as though you are really contributing in some facet to the defense industry, or having a hand in the developing life saving med tech is gratifying. The opportunity to make money is there, you have to work hard though. There is no hand-outs. The management team and people in Sr. level positions are more than willing to provide guidance and advice and will do anything to help a fellow colleague in need. Very Collaborative environment. The ability for growth is there personally. A few guys who started within the last few years are already in a management role.
Cons
7:00-5:00 can be a long day. i have talked to other folks in the industry who may have to work until 7PM or later. Once you complete the 6 month training 8:00AM start time is the usual. We are constantly looking to upgrade our training methods and look to make it as interactive as possible. Sometimes the training can be stale, but this is a work in progress.
