ManTech Reviews

Pros

Good benefits package and average pay for government contractors.

Cons

Has changed from a 'family working together' to a typical corporate climate.

Advice to Senior Management

Assess personnel who helped you be successful. Be more aggressive in protecting them and keeping them onboard.

Pros

Good bonus program to reward employees, good benefits for exempt employees, good technology for information dissemination, good HR team, and active management involvement.

Cons

government contracting work can be frustrating, ambiguity and a lack fo focus on the end product caused by a lack of government focus or undertanding of the desired end-state or product.

Advice to Senior Management

agressively advise the government to focus on what is actually important and educate and mentorship for their oversight personnel to help ensure the goal is achieved and mitigate micromanagement contracts.

Pros

The pay is pretty good. The benefits are great and the time off is excellent. People for the most part are friendly, understanding and have some goals.

Cons

Pay is not the best and compared to other companies performing the same exact job. It just did not make sense but we found out why because of what other companies were awarded.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen more to your employees and have a better ethical approach to how you do things. Practice what you preach otherwise it could come back to you.

Pros

Upper Management has an objective vision of what the militaries needs are and whats expected of ManTech by the military.

Cons

ManTech catered to trouble makers because of their former rank an affiliation in the military.

Advice to Senior Management

Clean House! Do not allow coworkers to attack and provoke other workers.

Pros

There are many good people working hard to feed the bottom line.

Cons

Lack of processes and commitment to IT support staff is low.

Advice to Senior Management

Commit to hiring IT resources and get executive assistance for senior staff.

Pros

1. ManTech offers decent and comparable work benefits
2. ManTech pays direct employees overtime
3. ManTech maintains ManTech University for a variety of courses.
4. ManTech has offices in convenient locations.

Cons

1. ManTech doesn't do much to prepare employees for "next level."
2. Office/department politics, pointing fingers, playing blame game are quite typical.

Advice to Senior Management

1. Identify key and important personnel (through performance reviews, for example) and prepare for promotion from within.
2. More cooperation

Pros

Great benefits and healthcare policy
Salaries are competitive with other industry rivals
Multiple locations- so commute could be good depending on work location

Cons

Lack of policies and procedures
Little to zero involvement from management-or feedback
No work/life balance
No ability to work remotely
High turnover of employees- managers will say anything to prospective candidates to get a warm body in a chair
No team mentality
Very few to zero social/connective outlets and networking groups available to employees
Unless you direct charge to a contract- your security clearance will not be benched, if you have one- so be prepared to lose it

Advice to Senior Management

With such a high turnover within the company in a lot of positions, it would be wise for management and HR to enact, especially in the satellite offices, ways to engage employees and have a forum for open communication. Also, a full-circle review should be mandatory to keep disengaged departments and management accountable and employees satisfied that their concerns and frustrations are being heard. They should also offer some work/life balance- or an ability to work from home or flex your schedule if needed. Policies and Procedures, if any, change daily with almost no communication flowing down to the employees- most of these are found out after the fact, when the issue has come to a climax.

Pros

They shoot for stability over high pay.

Cons

Their HR is HORRIBLE. Will arrogantly demand all sorts of things, and ignore you when you try to fill their request. Zero feed back to employees about performance. Even the ones actively seeking any sort of feed back.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay some attention to your employees, get your HR to start doing it's job.

Pros

They take care of their employees and other employees take care of each other. One time I was sick and had to stay in bed for three months. The employees pulled together to make sure I had enough vacation time to take me into my disability pay.

Cons

Sometimes there aren't enough jobs to go around but that is the nature of contracting.

Pros

Opportunity to work with minimal supervision. Employees were great to work with.

Cons

Limited opportunity for growth - a constant drive towards new business.

Advice to Senior Management

I would work on developing career paths for all employees. Offer more training opportunities and invest more in the development of your employees.
