I had a good experience in the logistics engineering career field where I learned allot from fellow engineers.

Pros

The people I worked with where very professional to work with and let you accomplish the project deliverable within the scope of the contract. There where bonuses for the completion of the main milestones. If you needed time off, they where willing to work with you, provided it didn't effect the project deliverable's.

Cons

They needed more specific job skills training to keep engineers current in the field of expertise. When contracts are completed there is allot of downsizing of personal, so it's hard to plan your future around this type of work environment.. If you are a contractor working with the company on the contract, you get payed good, but you have no benefits.
