    WORST COMPANY EVER!

    Pros

    expense reimbursement, hotel stays, meet new people

    Cons

    They pretend that the culture of this business is that they are all a 'team'. They are not. My first day in the field I was immediately met with disrespect from the OS, clique-ish behavior, and the want for brown nosing because butt kissing white women is the ONLY way to survive this job. The people in the other reviews are either other white women or liars. The bad reviews actually reflect this company and their culture. My second day I was lied on that I threatened my OS, when that did not work to get me fired, the OS decided she would attempt to seat me in the furthest corner so that I would not be able to hear important information. I quit. I had enough. Now currently, my FS decided she would use my entire last paycheck to pay medical that I will not have next month, pretended she could not see my expense report, and will not explain how this happened (on purpose). If you are a black woman, DO NOT waste your time. I am not the only one this is happening to. A young Black lady I left behind is experiencing worse because she would not quit. If you don't quit they continuously lie on you, I dont know who are worst, the coworkers or the management. I will be filing a complaint with the EEOC.

    Pros

    None that I can think of exactly

    Cons

    I would be weary of this company if you try to leave it might be hard. They have connections with the government since a strong majority of their work comes from government contracts. They also have relationships with recruiting firms such as TEKsystems that can track your new job applications online with their applicant tracking system (ATS). You can check into the company but you will have a hard time checking out of the establishment.

    Pros

    Some groups are great to work with! Very many great people!

    Cons

    My boss is uncommunicative, a bad scientist, bad manager, doesn't want any other opinions, and thinks is great. It seems my boss is universally disliked except for the top management. Writes contracts that loses the org money. How can this happen? Favors men. That's well known. How this "progressive" organization tolerates this is unknown. Science facilities are decades old. I use a Windows 97 computer for some of the work. Not kidding. Little is "state of the art". Has lots of post-doc positions because it is cheap labor. Don't do a post-doc here, do one at one of the better Universities in the area to learn professional skills. You'll be a simple technician here.

    Not perfect, but best place I've ever worked

    Pros

    - You will do well at RTI if you have an entrepreneurial spirit. There are lots of opportunities to pursue your own professional development, but you have to be proactive in pursuing them. - RTI really cares about the well being of employees over profits when compared to industry competitors (e.g., pay is competitive and I've never seen layoffs, despite the fluctuating nature of federal contract work). - It's the most flexible company I've ever worked at, making it easy to have a good work/life balance (e.g., remote work, flexible hours, part-time, etc.)

    Cons

    - Although we get 4 weeks vacation per year, sick days are lumped in with vacation days. - If you've never worked for a federal contractor before, some things can be difficult to adjust to (e.g. pressure to meet utilization goals, having to pursue your own project work, demands of working on proposals). - The size of the organization sometimes causes unnecessary bureacracy
