Greedy company as they call you "salaried" but if the government shuts down because of snow, Zantech docks your pay. However as a contractor under a fixed fee contract, Zantech gets paid regardless, so they just pocket the difference as more profit. This can seriously affect people who rely on their paychecks or those who can't make up hours because of children or other commitments.If you don't need their medical or 401(k) benefits (and most veterans or spouses don't), you aren't given a differential as many government contract companies do. But worst of all is although you qualify for participating in 401(k) after 3 months, they wait to send you the sign-up paperwork so its assured that you will miss 1 to 2 months of this benefit. If they are doing this to all employees, you can see how this would add up to big $ to them. If it's not intentional, then HR is incompetent; but it's one or the other. They also pay very low, and also unfairly for the someone with the same qualifications to perform the same job. Look elsewhere unless any of this appeals to you.
