Pros
I enjoy my close-knit team and immediate co-workers; however, the company environment at large is not something I am very familiar with. The flexibility of my schedule is great, as I work from home. My superiors encourage a healthy work-life balance, and when I have work, if I need help, I am always supported by our helpful system of co-workers nationwide.
Cons
The ultimate downside is the contract-based work system. As an hourly employee, I often go weeks (currently months) without a full paycheck. I am often encouraged to reach out to folks in the company who might have work, but often fall short. As a fairly new employee, this system is brutal, as you have many folks who have been entrenched with their contractor or employees of choice for however long and you often get looked over in favor of others.
