Pros

Compensation is the only Pro. While fellows don't receive benefits, the pay is significantly better than other comparable positions.

Cons

Contractors in the military, specifically in Public Health Command are treated very poorly. The ORISE fellowship is misused. We are treated like regular contractors, not like individuals in educational fellowships. Job duties include administrative duties and the organization does not allow for training opportunities or conference attendance. I would not recommend taking an ORISE fellowship for anyone who will get placed in the military.
