Pros

Leadership is honest with their employees and do their best to take care of them. They are great at winning contracts, and willing to move people into growth opportunities. They are beginning some IRAD work. Good benefits, and Christmas party. :) It is a rising company.

Cons

Like any defense contractor, everything depends in winning the contract. This is.not a con, just interesting background - ARS is 80% owned by Riverside Research., so decisions at Riverside can affect things at ARS. Riverside is typically very hands off. Time spent at ARS can count towards seniority if someone moves to Riverside.

Pros

ARS is a strong company to work for. The organization is supportive, the team is great, and I have had a positive experience with the culture overall. The company offers strong benefits, professional development opportunities, and a workplace environment where employees feel valued and supported. Even though my day-to-day responsibilities are tied to my role as a contractor supporting the Air Force, ARS has consistently been a positive and reliable employer.

Cons

One area for improvement would be more consistent company-wide status communications. Regular weekly or monthly updates on company news, priorities, growth, and overall direction would help employees feel even more connected and informed.

Pros

Very flexible with work schedules. Great benefits and pay.

Cons

Lack of training and leadership for new employees and favoritism is obvious from upper management.
