Pros

Tuition and certification exam reimbursement, clothing, fair benefits and vacation package, good folks working in the trenches.

Cons

Management plays the "favorites" game, only anointed individuals get promotional opportunities, dead-end career paths for many individuals, management arrogance and inability to recognize contributions of all staff, not just the chosen few.

Pros

I enjoy my job. I enjoy my coworkers. I love getting two raises a year. I really love getting an annual bonus. I love RDOs and all the vacation time. I like the Management in the Field events I've been on: Trapeze school, Kayaking the Potomac, and GoApe!. - all of which I was paid to attend I have graduated from the TerpSys Outward Bound professional course - which I was also paid to attend. I believe the interaction between management, at least between me and my manager(s), is fair. I am grateful for the TerpSys paid training and certification.

Cons

I dislike the internal website. We are encouraged to post 'Knowledge Sharing' to the corporate SharePoint "forum", but the site is bulky and counter intuitive to what an IT company website should be. Rather than initiate discussion, the 'Knowledge Sharing' section of the website comes off as a dumping ground for people who want to appear involved in the company; I include myself as one of those people. I really disliked the change to the corporate mobile policy that encrypted, and broke, my SD card, and granted TerpSys administrative credentials to my personal cell phone. This change was made when employees at the corporate office received iPhones, but the policy was not communicated to non-corporate employees. I would have appreciated an email explaining the new policy. The SD card encryption failed and I lost some personal data, and I had to factory reset my phone to remove the TerpSys administrative credentials. I no longer check TerpSys email on my phone and I have less confidence
