Pros

Unispec is a company that focused on its culture and the community. Some of the recent Lunch and Learn topics, such as homelessness and Liter of Light, have shown the Company’s support and encouragement to give back to the community. I think it is really nice that Unispec employees have been giving these presentations on such meaningful topics and providing us the opportunity to join them in their volunteer efforts. The most recent Lunch and Learn on Professionalism was presented by our Program Manager and was both informative and enjoyable. Also, the company-provided lunches at the events have been great! Just last week, Unispec provided me a ticket to the Washington Nationals opening game. It was my first time going to an opening game and had a wonderful time! The company invites us to multiple games throughout the season, which are so convenient to attend since our corporate office and client site are located across the street from the stadium. I think the baseball games are a wonderful idea for a company outing and I am looking forward to the next one with Unispec!

Cons

I think the PTO accrual should be a bit higher. It would be nice to have just a few more days of PTO so I wouldn’t have to track my PTO for vacation planning. However, upper management is pretty flexible about working with us if we are planning to use PTO and do not have enough for the requested time off.

Pros

Salary offer was what I asked. The CEO is professional and easy to speak with. When I worked there the project managers were accessible and open to discuss any issues. I never had any problems. Took a while to get my first raise (1.5 yrs) but when I went for a raise they were honest and clear. I negotiate directly (at the right moment) and was able to get the money I desired. Pro-Pro: at the Christmas party the CEO bought me $25 glass of whiskey when he asked to buy me a drink and I replied "I'll have what you're having."

Cons

I have nothing to complain about this company.

Pros

Unispec, to say the least, were good to me. They have provided me with a platform where my skill sets have been elevated to the point that I'm thinking about taking my career in a program management level. Being in the position that I was in, I was able to realize my strengths and where I want to be in my career. Although, I am no longer with Unispec, I truly appreciate everything they have done for me. The have provided me health coverage that is much needed, compensated fairly and most importantly, they were never cheap when it came to PTO. I was awarded for most of them from our client, but I was appreciative of them for letting me make up for them when needed. I can't say enough all that they have done for me, and I know being a contractor is not easy, but understanding that fact will make anyone's time at Unispec so much better and a better place to be than some may realize.

Cons

PTO was hard to come by, but I was lucky enough to be awarded with some during my time here. It may seem like you aren't going anywhere at times, but this is an opportunity that anyone can learn from and it's up to the employee how and where they want to take the position.
