Cons
Projects get bogged down with long meetings in which nothing is accomplished Communication between teams is not good Contract employees are not given information in a timely manner Promises on work schedules for contract employees are not kept Freelancers/Contract employees are not allowed to work from home Contract employees are expected to work long hours but not get paid for all of them Budgets are not always planned well No one takes accountability for mistakes - like to point fingers at others If you are not liked by management you will not be promoted no matter how well you do your job If you are contract you are not considered part of the team - some days no one talks to you at all and you are not allowed to have any conversations with anyone you pass in the hallway
