Avantages
Decent pay, OK benefits. Low responsibility in most positions leads to a stress-free work day most of the time. Management is competent and has become more reasonably structured.
Inconvénients
Pitiful respect for employees. Simply because we are contractors, we have no rights and are held to an obscenely high standard. 8-12 weeks notice for a single day off, but schedules are not provided until 1 or 2 weeks beforehand, and then are still subject to change. Punitive action for taking 5 sick days or more in a single day. Never given 40-hour weeks. PTO accrual AND pay rate are reduced if you do not work 40-hours, so a person with 85% of FTE receives about 70% of a full-time employees PTO. Random unannounced reviews to keep employees on their feet make you feel like a prisoner having their cell inspected by the warden. These are veiled as friendly visits, but are always followed with form "thank you" emails that make it apparent that the event was mandated.
