Zel Technologies Reviews

Pros

Time off, small company, no corporate red tape, family like atmosphere

Cons

Only get 9 federal holidays, rather then 10 that most other companies get, but, we receive higher PTO accrual rates so it pretty much makes up for it.

Pros

The pay and PTO/Flex Holiday's are great.

Cons

The schedule is very frustrating.

Advice to Management

ZelTech has overall been a great company to work for. The PM has been very open, honest and available. There have been some major changes in our office the past couple months, leaving disgruntled employees, but we honestly did it to ourselves and the PM did his best to make all things fair and equal. I do feel that our cell still has some internal leadership/personnel issues and hope that it will be handled appropriately...

Pros

There are none as of now

Cons

Salary, work to life balance, quality of life, dont expect family time

Advice to Management

Go back to your core values. One where employees were as important as the contracts, one where people actually smiled and felt good to be working for a company that cared. Unfortunately today's Zel Technologies does not care about their employees welfare, or the quality of life they live. I passed up more money to stay working for your company, because of the time you actually showed your employees what they meant, and...

Pros

Great Culture, Nice Management and salary

Cons

Average Benefits, could improve 401k match

Pros

The job is in Florida, however short it may be.

Cons

High turnover for experienced technical professionals. Cape Canaveral site is a hostile workplace, those who disagree with the government are gone in short order. Military and government personnel lack in depth technical experience and do not accept advise from experienced contract personnel. Zeltech site lead will not support you, do not accept a job here without a backup plan.

Advice to Management

support your employees.

Pros

Panama schedule, easy work, very laid back, no experience required

Cons

Terrible pay, drama, no growth potential, no incentive to upgrade, no hired experience, a lot of unqualified employees

Advice to Management

Focus on paying your employees more. They're the reason why the contract is being able to be fulfilled on a daily basis, and why the customers receive the support that they do. Giving better pay would encourage employees to actually care about what they do. Also setting a higher standard for employment would work wonders. Having a requirement of only intelligence experience does nothing for the mission as the employees...

Pros

The leaderships works hard to support their employees

Cons

Benefits are somewhat limited in terms of compensation

Pros

Program Manager is best I have worked for. They also do a good job of selecting solid lower level supervisors, i.e, direct supervisor, team leader. I loved all of my supervisors. My direct supervisor was also one of the best I have ever had. They praise you when you do well, and let you know when you fall short. The Shalimar location (Hurlburt Field contract) is also a great place for less experienced analyst to gain...

Cons

Health Care benefit premiums - specifically family - were outrageous at my time of employment (2015 - 2016). I know they were doing their best to rectify the issue, so it is possible they are much lower. Any other cons were at the hands of the government and not Zel's fault. It is a government contract; that's the way it is. Some people (contractors) do not have the ability (or don't care to) distinguish the two, in my...

Advice to Management

My direct supervisor (whose name I will not say, but last name rhymes with door) and Program Manager (whose last name rhymes with skewer), keep doing what you are doing. That also goes to the management between the two as well. Thanks for making my time there pleasant.
