Pros

Holiday Party Telework 4 Days / 10 hour Training

Cons

- You only get paid twice a month. - HR is only there to protect their contract/client not you as an employee. - Purposely hire the client's personal friends no matter how unfit and/or not knowledgeable they are for the position. Which it is a conflict of interest. - TL has told the client (fed. government) not to hire and denied all PM selectees until their friend applies and become one of the selectees. - Not enough sick leave and personal leave to use throughout the year. - Retaliation will happen to you if you report anything to them about other employees who are clearly doing you and/or others wrong/harm. - Instead of making up time in the pay period, you only can make up time in that particular week.

Pros

Worked with some really great people, felt like my managers and coworkers cared about me as a person, hybrid work schedule

Cons

Was shuffled around multiple contracts so it felt hard to get settled somewhere and grow, pay felt lacking for the cost of living in the city I was in
