Avantages
The people I worked with worked their butts off knowing it helped veterans, and made the day enjoyable and productive.
Inconvénients
There is a strong culture of "work-til-you-drop" that isn't matched by any rewards system, financial or otherwise. This is evident in both professional and production level positions. I saw people having fifty hour weeks as the norm for the IT department. Some had 60, some more. It's not unusual at all to work part of the weekend. There are frequent layoffs of good, effective workers. Fear of this is a tool wielded implicitly against you. I don't like when a director engages in the bad-mouthing of employees, but it certainly happens. Upper management seems to have no concept of what makes someone want to work for a company, other than a paycheck, and apparently doesn't care either. It took a while to realize that some of the directors really aren't leaders. They are just people that managed to survive there the longest. The 401k contribution by the company is pitiful. It may as well not exist. Health insurance is nominal. Not great, not terrible.
