Pros

After recently being acquired from Honeywell HTSI, Managers and supervisors haven't changed after acquisition. Although rebidding will happen in 2018 the key people in management have been working in the company for the last 24 years have stayed in place. Rebidding for contract in 2018 with the Government.

Cons

The key people in management have been working in the company for the last 24 years have stayed in place. Salaries don't really compete withe the open market in the supervisory and management positions. Hiring targets prior military or retired military preferably so that lower the market salaries supplement retirement paychecks.
