Vantaggi
As a professional with substantial military and military-related experience, I took a job with Raytheon because they owned the particular billet I was interested in. Raytheon has a lot of military-related positions as a large defense contractor.
Svantaggi
I have my two-week notice and ended my last job on the 19th of the month based on Raytheon's promise to have me start on the 20th. Due to incompetence, unnecessary single points of failure, and lack of concern, I did not start until the 23rd and lost approximately 40% of pay for a pay period. That was just onboarding. Since then Raytheon has treated the employees on this contract poorly including reducing senior employees pay to lower than that of newer employees and mishandling what ended up being an unnecessary furlough. Promises to compensate said mishandling where never followed up on.
