Pros

Joe Yorio has terminated 9 VPs, 16 Directors and numerous underperformer and entitlist since taking over. He has quarterly all hands meetings and keeps employees informed. He has empoered us and treats people with dignity and respect. He has eliminated the good old boys network and has hire proven business leader to replaces underperformers. He holds people accountable to standards, has implemented the first ever company-wide employee performance review process and objective incentive program. He is implementating an ESOP and creating a Board of Directors.

Cons

The con at Xe is that they did not hire Joe Yorio sooner. If Mr Yorio would have been our President and CEO 3 years ago, Xe would not have 99% of the problems they are dealing with today.

Pros

If you are only motivated by money, then this place is for you. But, be prepared for backstabbing, literally decisions made without a hint of understanding of ground truth and program managers saying, "I'm the alpha male, no one else is the alpha male, there is only one alpha male and I'm it..." Incompetence is beyond comical to the point of unbelievable. When Jason DeYonker cares nothing more than the bottomline it is an indicator for the culture of the organization.

Cons

Organization is solely motivated by money, period! Nothing more. Zero growth opportunities as a contractor. Program manager routinely lies, yes lies and is known as a lier. throughout the company and the client ranks. That he was employed with his pathological background clearly shows Constellis Group is solely motivated by money. Disrespects people and is known to do so routinely. Is allowed to do so cause of the contract is more important than Veteran employees. Does not take are of Veteran employees/contractors. Is not Veteran friendly. You are expected to bend over backwards for the company to fill billeting needs but little to no appreciation is given in return. You are used as a number and nothing more. DO NOT be fooled by false advertising. Constellis Group is 100% NOT Veteran friendly. Is known to verbally abuse employees. Scheduler does not return phone calls or emails.
