Avantages
Spectrum Comm. has one of the smaller footprints of consultants on Beale AFB, but the company's culture is great. The company, which is headquartered on the east coast, goes out of its way to take care of its consultants in the field through superb Human Resources, financial support, and senior leadership presence on-site. In my experience of working for multiple DoD contracting firms, Spectrum Comm's compensation is one of the more competitive. They also take care to recruit the best technicians and managers. I've had several team and site leads fight for my best interest while with this company.
Inconvénients
Because they are a smaller company, they take on sub-contracts for larger companies to which they answer to. This means these larger companies can influence certain aspects of the work or the client support decisions. Also, if you are staying on Beale, there is very little room for advancement, other than incremental raises or the rare site lead role.
