Pros
-good variety in the type of work and there is always a new security challenge to handle every day - colleagues are very resourceful, well-qualified, congenial, and engaging (speaking from the perspective of the intelligence department). Colleagues and supervisors - good benefits and some opportunities for continuing education depending on the job role
Cons
-retention issues related to lack of opportunities to grow within the company and due to uncompetitive salaries -it was difficult to establish continuity with certain departments and staff members because turnover seemed high -a disconnect between top management and companies' employees. However, this seemed to be improving somewhat -lack of ability to transfer/travel to other companies' offices, unless working in upper management -some of the intelligence analyst roles serve as crisis responders as well as political and security risk forecasters. These two job functions should be in totally separate roles. - the Annapolis location is not ideal and most employees have long commutes via car. No liable public transit available. The "transportation compensation" benefit is essentially obsolete since it only applies to public transit and not to private vehicles. If the company wants to help out with transportation compensation, they should offer gas/mileage partial reimbursements to employees.
