Avantages
- Some of your full-time coworkers are the best people you'll meet - Facilities are nice
Inconvénients
- Contractors and guaranteed a "good conversion rate" from their respective employers only to find that's not the case. Chances of getting hired on full time are slim. - No new positions will be added next year (2024) because "current employee benefits and bonuses cost too much". - Contractors work long, hard hours and see the full time workers go home early. - No consequences for toxic behavior from other contractors, harassment and rude behavior go unchecked; Roche is not technically the employer of contractors, so problems get passed to contracting agencies and are often left unresolved. - Not a "speak up" environment among contractors - more "be quiet for fear of being fired". - Very little room for advancement, no raises or promotions for contractors. - Organization functions more off of how long you've spent doing grunt work for them than respective education and other professional experiences. - Working environment for contractors had just generally become very unpleasant. - The company takes advantage of contingent workers - they know it but no one seems to want to make a change.
