Pros

I honestly loved working at ACADEMI. The people I worked with were great and i loved the work environment. I loved how busy we were consistently and how the job was challenging and demanding. The pay was decent and the benefits were great as long as you were a full time employee.

Cons

Wrong leadership. To many changes. To many layoffs and then rehires. One day one department has control over something and the next the whole policy has changed, they have new employees and a whole new department. A month later they will move it back to the old department and the new employees will be shuffled around or laid off. They did not value hard working employee's but valued people with pedigree's.

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.
