Pros
Able to work from home at least once a week. Peers are usually nice. Paid training (at least for our group).
Cons
Advancement Opportunities are usually taken by permanent contractors. Pay is about 20% less than what it should be for equal positions elsewhere. Company going on second year without Merit increases but we are hiring lots of contractors and our profits look good to investors! Benefits (medical/dental/Vision) are below average. You'll need Co Insurance. PTO is 2 weeks for beginners, which includes Sick days. that's right, no separate Sick time off. Management (all levels especially IT Senior) are not effective in promoting or building employees to succeed or advance. The "It's all about people." philosophy is heard but not seen. Management style is tyrannical, "My Way or the Highway" style and intimidation.
