Pros

You got an hour lunch and free coffee. Thats about it.

Cons

So Gaf hired me through a Contractor. I was suppose to get $X an hour and Health Insurance. When it was time to get health insurance (It was a big secret) I could use it twice in 1 year and after that I had to pay out of pocket. That is not health insurance to me. I was jammed up becuase one of my children was sick. I could not go around and not have health insurance for my sick child. So I talked to the people at GAF they knew I was desperate for health coverage. They decided to be slimey and make me an offer that was $15k less then I was currently making. The excuse was that I get 401k and would be eligable for a yearly bonus. As far a: I am concerned you can not really figure that as compensation. They can not say anything about my work because it was excelent. It was so good that they tried to hire me fulltime. The whole thing with them offering me $15k less then I was making is very slimey to me. The day before they made me this offer they had reports come out with record profits for the year. ( I did the live stream I know) If I was offered a job as a contractor here I would not take it. If you do take it keep looking for another job and quit GAF after. Dont let these people play you. They will respond with something like "We are really concerned blah blah blah" They are not concerned they knownwhat they are doing. They keep doing it over and over.

Pros

Excellent collaborative environment. End users/clients were a pleasure to support.

Cons

I was a sub-contractor. I was doing very well there. No major errors on my part. I did all good work and documented all that I could of procedures I had to figure out for myself since my predecessors did not document anything. I got systems working correctly that hadn't been right in years. What did this get me? Well, the pay was pretty good. Other than that, no loyalty. I worked on the Friday before the 4th of July holiday weekend. It was a very productive day like most days for me. I left the office at 5:00 PM, my regular time, saying have a nice weekend on the way out. At 6:40 PM that same evening I got a message from my sub-contracting company saying my contract ended. No good or real explanation for this! THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE!
