      Benefits and pay seem really good vacation days start day 1. Pretty good amount of training if you have some type of skill with technology

      Cons

      None so far. I just got hired so I'm stoked and it's been so long I had to leave a review because I've been reading them while going through this process hope it helps someone else out.

      Pros

      The benefits are nice, the work is interesting, and the culture is on par with most IT companies in the area.

      Cons

      Bonuses are tied to your organization's performance and the companies performance. Advanced services makes no effort to keep top performers when the contract that they work expires.

      Advice to Management

      Investing in the people can go along way in decreasing turnover and building an exceptional culture.

      "Excellent Union Strong Company"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Current Employee - Anonymous Employee
      Current Employee - Anonymous Employee

      Pros

      Income potential is amazing bonus payouts top in the industry. Potential to move forward with the company boundless. Potential for younger new to the work place environment to learn more and a chance to make it your 1st and last employer is yours for the taking.

      Cons

      Not great for work life balance. The company has the right to move around your off days at their leisure. Not family friendly. Attendance policy unrealistic leaves no room for life events that may affect the average human being.

      No support for the high goals that are set is a sink or swim position. Highly competitive position that is more focused on the end result but no road map to get there. Union although strong in negotiations during the contract phase very little influence after to adapt to management changes, management has the upper hand until time for new contract.

      Advice to Management

      Remember that consultants work to live not live to work. Balance is key.
