Pros

- Assisted Transitions between Contracts - Great company culture - Diverse array of options

Cons

- Profit-driven - Poor healthcare(costed me between 8000 and 16000 a year for medical(incl. dental & vision)) - Compensation is well below the industry average and even seasoned employees make less than entry level at other organizations. - Largely contract work for Federal agencies... employer alters diversity and other employee well-being "commitments" to satisfy their customers. - Contract work is impermanent and often subject to the whims of the customer, regardless of whether the employee was held in high regard.
