Pros

That is a good question...lots of time away from family, minimal pay and per deim if you qualify. Once job is done they don't place you to another site that is in need. Instead they send you to the unemployment office to file for benefits.

Cons

No employee loyalty. A lot of being jerked around and told this or that but lack follow through. They do not attempt to place you even when a position is open that you are qualified for. They do not care if your benefits expire or if you are places within the company or move on to another company. You can give years of service and they don't look twice at you once their needs are fillied. Typical big company..more concerned with lining their pockets than the welfare of their employees.

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
