Pros

There is profit sharing at the end of the year.

Cons

I accrued a significant amount of comp time and upon my termination was informed that it would not be paid out. Too bad I didn't wait until the end of the year to take the payout like what is normally offered. USA Leadership is in a constant state of bickering with Japan and amongst themselves. Nothing more than a high school power struggle. If you work longer than 8 hours during any day monday through friday you do not get any comp time because monday through friday are normal working days. Even if you work 24 hours straight and pull a 75 hour week you are not compensated at all for your extra time. Comp time is only earned for weekends and holidays that are worked. Scheduling of resources was more reactive than proactive. Confucius says, "Wheel that squeaks loudest gets greased first." Planning of field work without fully understanding the issue and scope of work is common place.
