Pros

150% match on 401k contributions, Can make 6 figures with no degree or certifications and you can see the country.

Cons

If you have family, you’ll be away 3/4 of the time. Lifestyle can be unhealthy living in hotels and eating out a lot.

We’re glad to hear you value the strong 401(k) match and the earning potential our roles provide, along with the opportunity to travel and see the country.

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...

We also appreciate your honest input regarding contract roles and your experience with our staffing agency. Your concerns are valid, and we understand how important transparency, support, and compliance are—especially regarding benefits and PTO accrual. We’ll be reviewing this feedback closely with our agency partner to ensure alignment.
