Pros

Government contract work, so get over 10 paid holidays a year, in addition to almost 3 weeks paid vacation. Decent benefits packages, but you have to pay for most of them, other than disability.

Cons

Lots of driving. You have to be okay with driving 40-100 miles a day if you work as an auditor. And sometimes there's pressure to meet quotas. Sometimes understaffed so you're trying to do more than you should, and have to skip lunch (or eat while working). Tempers can flare sometimes at the office due to stressed workers, but usually only in the office 2 hours a day or less. Do not work here if you can't handle a little stress. Sick days eat into your vacation time.

Pros

Enjoyed hands-on technical work such as: - Data modeling and diagram creation - Dashboard development - SQL development and querying - Improving data systems and supporting internal tools Work had clear impact when properly scoped (improving testing, safety, and quality processes) Broad exposure to multiple domains, including data, integration, and legacy systems Strong learning experience due to the variety and complexity of systems involved

Cons

The scope of the North America role was not realistic for a single data analyst - Functioned as the sole analyst supporting multiple acquired companies with complex, inconsistent systems Responsibilities extended well beyond a typical data analyst role - Included elements of data engineering, systems integration, database administration, IT support, and project management without corresponding staffing or structure Significant understaffing in the North American organization - Workload and expectations were consistently misaligned with available resources, leading to unsustainable demands on individuals High levels of technical debt across systems - Reliance on short-term fixes rather than long-term, maintainable architecture - Resulted in ongoing inefficiencies and rework Misalignment between headquarters and North American operations - Expectations and operational reality appeared disconnected, with structural issues often reflected as individual performance pressure
