Pros
- Everyone is very nice and welcoming - They encourage you to ask questions and don't make you feel bad for not knowing something - The environment/culture is relaxed most of the time - You start getting benefits and earning PTO as soon as you start (earn 6 hours every two weeks, 12 hours a month) - Everyone is very understanding if you need time off for any reason - The workload can vary from person to person, but the managers are always willing to talk about it if it is too much - Flex schedule, so as long as you work your hours, they don't care too much when you do it - The technology that they supply their employees with is up to date, so the speed and functionality of the computers are rarely cause for frustration
Cons
- "Hurry up and wait!" is basically the motto for the government and it leaks onto contractors as well - Sometimes there is a lack of communication on what needs to be done/why things are done the way they are, so don't be afraid to ask questions if you're unsure of something
