Pros

Flexible work environment. Good benefits.Like to see more options to chose healthcare.

Cons

Buddy system. If the PMOs do not like you if give it straight they will gang up on you to eventually get rid of you. Lots of nepotism. People who talk the talk but can not walk the walk running proposals and losing badly. Forced to take LM medical insurance which is more expensive and express scripts prescription are the worst.

Business Outlook

Pros

The hours are very flexible. The people are great to work with. The benefits are very good and the pay is competitive for the industry.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for growth because the workforce is shrinking and the job opportunities are not readily available, making it hard to move about and progress. There have been lay-offs every year for the past few years, which have diminished employee moral.
