Pros

- DOC paid holidays - get your foot in the door with the DOC.

Cons

- Never meet your supervisors - HR is useless - PTO is on the “use it or lose it” policy. Does not roll over. - no differentiation between vacation and sick time. It’s all the same. - pay is abysmal - benefits are expensive and terrible - for-profit company so you can’t use it for PSLF - feel unappreciated as an employee because the only feedback you get is from the supervision of the company that contracted you not the company you WORK for.

Pros

You're able to learn a lot about what the job offers. Always something new, which is good for the position.

Cons

A lot of the things that needed to be fixed were beyond your control, and working with corporates, sometimes you have to fight for what you want.
