Pros

None that I could think of.

Cons

Employees are being asked to do more work than is reasonable for their pay, often taking on extra hours, responsibilities outside their role, and facing unrealistic deadlines. GovCIO frequently cut costs by reducing benefits, such as changing health insurance plans annually and offering minimal coverage, leaving staff with poor healthcare options. There are no dedicated sick leaves—only a general Paid Time Off (PTO) bank. If employees use all their PTO and then become ill, they have no additional protection or paid leave. The HR department is unhelpful and difficult to interact with.

Pros

Decent pay Good benefit Work remotely

Cons

Lack of communication by leadership, I was given my first assignment during my 3rd day and still didn’t acccess to most systems, after spending 1.5 days getting access and working with IT, I sent my completed assignment to my manager who responded “ why did it take 2 days to complete 15 minute task, this is no longer needed as I have completed it already” This was a totally insulting and a waste when the fact that it his responsibility to grant my access and he was included on all correspondence during the process and had not said anything
