Great People, Interesting Work, Contract Agency is not the best

Pros

Great benefits for full time employees, interesting work, exposure to a wide range of things. They are open to work from home, and PTO is decent. People are kind and willing to help you out/help you learn. Good culture.

Cons

Lots of recent internal shuffling of departments/managers/management. If on contract, it's usually a reoccurring contract and not contract to hire. The contract house Loram works with (Actalent) is not the greatest, sometimes hard to get ahold of, and benefits are poor. They also offer 16 hours PTO for every 400 hours worked, which isn't that awesome and may even violate MN ESST accrual rules...
