Typical govt. contractor - in it for the money

Pros

Affords the opportunity for research positions at NASA. Involved in community (although I think this is mostly for contract competitiveness).

Cons

The management sees contractors that work on-site at customer's facilities as a means for billing time and nothing more. There is little opportunity for advancement or even professional/personal development. The pay is not competitive with peers. 401K match is only 4%. They openly state that raises are not tied to performance reviews (which may be a good thing, because I never see my manager and he wouldn't have a clue what my job actually is). My SSAI makes absolutely no effort to promote me with my NASA manager.

Pros

Good work environment. Solid Mission. The benefits are decent.

Cons

Very tough to move positions in contract role. Since old CEO stepped down, benefits and salaries have stagnated under new leadership.
