challenging
Airborne AGI Analyst (Former Employee) – Wright-Patterson AFB, OH – May 28, 2017
Starting the processes of researching with spectral information in our section was amazing, and getting to see it take off from there was interesting. the company and workplace was good and kept people interested.
Sad to see the contract end

Customer Service Representative
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – May 1, 2017
Prepare for micro-management, only knowing your schedule when it's presented to you. Breaks and bathroom breaks counts against your overall performance so watch what and when you eat. Customer will call will all possible complaints and they are unable to see the problem from both sides of the perspective. When I arrived I saw the volleyball net and sand and I thought this would be great such an employee moral setter, but we never used it.
Pros
discounted cable services, gym, walking path, air conditioned
Cons
must live in area supported by cable to receive discounted cable, shifts availability is very limited, gym is very outdated, very tight and share working environments which spread colds rapidly, also no casual fridays dressing
Family Oriented

New applicants BEWARE...
Service Technician (Former Employee) – Ellsworth, ME – January 10, 2017
It may be in your best interest to withhold salary information when applying if your income was more at your previous job. They will disregard your experience and hire an under qualified person if you are deemed to have made too much at your previous job. It doesn't matter if you currently have zero income.

Pros
Company cares about well-being of employees and company culture, vision and values

Cannot think of any at the moment

The Worst
Intelligence Analyst, Remote Sensing (Former Employee) – Dayton, OH – October 28, 2013
Stay away! This company will steal from the government and hide the process. I discovered one of these scandals! I informed the executive leadership that I was leaving because this was unethical. They said that's fine! We keep on.. keeping on.

stay away!
