      I have been working at LAC Group full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      LAC group has great benefits. They have very supportive management even though we're not even in the same state. With Yammer and email they are always in contact with their employees.

      Cons

      The only thing I would change about LAC group is our payday. I would rather get paid on the 1st and 15th.

      Pros

      LAC-GROUP was a good company to work for and, I have learned a lot in the different positions that I was placed in and the diversity of people that I got to work with was a pleasure to have gotten to know.

      Cons

      The company at that time have replaced managers 4 times, with in 2 and a half years, that did not have a positive look on the company for that particular project that I was placed on.

      Advice to Management

      Take the time to find a qualified person to handle the role of a manager.

      Pros

      Atmosphere of respect for employees.

      I have been working at LAC Group full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      I have worked with LAC for the entirety of my professional career, and their contracts in DC have allowed me to achieve my goal of becoming a special librarian. I frequently recommend for new librarians to scope out contracting with LAC because the company has helped me to break into the federal realm, which can be difficult to enter otherwise.

      Rather than many other contractors who seem solely focused on revenue, I believe that LAC is legitimately interested in contributing to the information field. The company has provided me with several opportunities to grow and develop, including an annual professional development allowance and other job offers within the company. I also feel as though LAC values me, my work, and that they want to keep me on board.

      Compensation is fair and I've never felt as though the company has ever tried to "low ball" me. Health insurance and 401K options are very good for a contractor company.

      I feel confident that the company is in good health and that it is continuing to grow.

      The CEO and HR director are very accessible, and LAC staff are typically very responsive.

      Cons

      The major con for me is the leave time system: we are offered "paid time off" without a separate bank of sick time. This was problematic when I suffered a serious illness.

      As with contracting in general, opportunities (such as promotions and performance-based raises) are based on what's written in the contract. There are some things which the company would like to do, but can't given the confines of contract.

      Advice to Management

      Offer sick time, and continue to make your employees feel valued.

      Pros

      Once you become an employee at LAC- Group you are treated with respect and kindness. Their HR person is on the ball and will answer any of your questions during business hours or after business hours. You are never left in the dark about any news , good or bad.

      Cons

      More companies can't be like LAC - Group.

      I have been working at LAC Group full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Can't say enough great things about the HR Manager - very responsive and helpful. They let employees do their jobs with minimal interference.

      Cons

      Almost too hands off. My recent "annual" performance review came 6 years after the previous one. If it wasn't for the HR manager, I'd wonder if they even remember me (they didn't even know my company was moving when I mentioned it 8 months after it was announced in the media). If you are laid off from the company you contract with, they probably won't do much to help you find another job. This happened to a colleague of mine who begged them to help him find other work - they basically said sorry, you're on your own.

      Advice to Management

      Be a little more pro-active when it comes to employee's non-HR related questions and concerns. Would be nice if you could help more with job placement if employees are laid off or dissatisfied with their current jobs.

      If you're a dedicated film archivist, PRO-TEK provides the workplace reward of allowing you to be responsibly involved in both the re-housing, storage, attendant triage, articulation/inspection, repair, digital migration and curation of motion picture tape, film and photo assets. They are also supportive of your involvement in archivally-related organizations, events and activities.

      Though I have been familiar with LAC Group for many years now, I am one of its newest employees. I made the jump because of the company's vision for the future of the information industry. Times are changing and LAC has its finger on the pulse of what is happening. Great employees, flexible scheduling, great benefits, and a real chance for growth and advancement...what more can anyone want?

      Pros

      1. Dedicated, hard working, hands on leadership.
      2. Corporate growth during my seven years with LAC has made for wide range of new opportunities, as has the recent infusion of private equity resources.
      3. Unlike many companies that pay lip service to continuous improvement, LAC is actually a company that will truly invest the time, effort and resources to make systems and employee life better. If there is a better way to do something it will be considered, regardless from what level in the organization the impetus for change was initiated.

      Cons

      Rapid growth sometimes leads to growing pains. Has every new initiative been 100% as successful as hoped? No, but I personally can overlook that knowing change was addressed for the right reasons.

      I have been working at LAC Group full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I've worked at LAC Group for little more than a year at this point. I can say with confidence that this is the best job that I have ever had. Usually I don't give reviews of companies that I work at because of the obvious bias but if you give them a chance, you will be pleasantly surprised.

      My job is a little unique here because I provide technical support for all the employees at LAC Group. I get to see people at the apex of frustration. But there has not been a moment where I wasn't treated with respect and appreciation. I cannot stress how important this is for me because this is not always the case in my line of work. The people are really great and when it comes down to it, that's what matters.

      Cons

      Not every company is perfect. LAC Group is in the middle of a big transition and things can get a little muddled along the way. There have definitely been some challenging moments but these moments have been handled with care.
