Business outlook

Pros

I love the people. Everyone is professional, friendly, and courteous: co-workers (direct labor), managers (overhead), and office support (indirect labor, e.g. security, benefits, and travel office personnel), as well as the customers. Unless you're one those people who needs special attention (due to previous poor performance), the managers leave you alone to do your job. Work/Life balance is good too. I don't get calls at home and don't have to work weekends or overtime. The managers respect your family and your time. If I need time off (and have the PTO), I've never been denied or even questioned. Employee referrals are rewarded well. The benefits package is competitive too (medical, dental, vision, 401K).

Cons

One of the recruiting pitches to me was "annual 3% raises built in to the contract" and that has never happened. Across the board we have seen 1%, 0.5%, and 0.0% raises for the past three years. Annual increases have not matched inflation rates (CPI 2.5% ave), in effect, the workers are making less today than several years ago, comparatively. USfalcon's 401K is weaker than competitors ($.50 matching for every $1 --i.e. if employees invest up to 6%, USfalcon will contribute 3%). The next thing could be a pro or con, depending on your personality and career goals. There are no opportunities for advancement for direct labor -- the position you're hired for today is the same position & pay you'll be in five years from now, unless you change jobs. For example, if you are hired to be a Widget Analyst III, you won't advance to a Widget Analyst IV, no matter how much experience you get.
