I don't know much about working for Dell, but I do know people who work for Unisys and they complain quite a bit when I see them. However, do note they are doing very different work, which I also do for a competitor, and it does suck. Anyway, if you haven't already, check out Comptuter Jobs.com. They have a large database for the country, and most of their postions listed require Secret clearence, which you have, and is a big bonus with some companies. I would think there should be something there that pays much more than D&U.

I would. But it depends on what the company is offering. I would think with enough hard work, there is always advancement posibilities, but the higher up you get, the less spots there are.

Ever thought of HP? They are always keen to get a secret clearanced person in the ranks...
