Comparatively low-pay. Benefits mostly balance it out. No flex hours Unrealistic timeline expectations (projects need to be done 'by Friday' - they haven't realized that dev work takes time). SOW should allow for certain projects, but instead, we're pushed to do other stuff. Getting HR support is like pulling teeth. They answer sometimes - but then they also won't. Wasn't told about many of the benefits of being here - had to find out from other contractors when here. Conus leadership sometimes doesn't grasp challenges and hurdles. Frequent communication disconnects.
