Stable employment, interesting work, opportunity to work with federal law enforcement, not high stress, no take-home work, good work-life balance, health/dental/vision insurance.

Cons

No opporotunity for advancement, only one training session offered, no incentive for employees to improve or work harder, there can be a lot of down time and boredom, some management problems with employer not being responsive or advocating for contractors, in the event of an office closure due to weather there isn't enough money to pay employees. No annual bonus, no raises.

High Strung but Offers Decent Options within the Government and Firm

Pros

Decent pay. Supportive of employees when it suits them and does no interfere with client relationship. Decent job options within the federal government as a contractor and occasionally as a temporary to permanent hire as a federal employee. Good at promoting people inside the firm. Occasionally promotion is based on cliques--get in with the in crowd and mingle with management on and off the clock to rank higher in terms of promotability. Great coworkers--by and large normal decent people.

Cons

Carefully establishes a demeaning, disrespectful and negative environment. Culture was one of anxiety, frustration, and high strain. High strung management. Obsessive about the most minute and senseless things, seem to be preoccupied with their own image to the contractor and the the performance or well being of the employees (which does not demand hugs or psychotherapy only creating a positive environment that will encourage elevated performance and commitment). Difficult to find, qualify for and obtain positions that are temp to hire. Despite the money, which is not great, not enough incentives to stay, more incentives to leave. Unfortunately, it's so hard to get beyond the contractor one can't properly focus on or enjoy the work at the federal agency! An unpleasant waste!
