Pros

Very good coworkers and sense of camaraderie among contractors. Interesting work. Contract status allowed you to focus on the work itself and avoid less pleasant elements of a job (annual reviews, office politics). You got to use the specialized skills you were hired in to use.

Cons

Zero career advancement. You are a butt in a seat to fulfill a job function. Treated as a second class citizen by the client's full time employees. Zero job security.

Pros

Decent benefits, but Cigna insurance likes to take the cheap route on everything from MRIs to colonoscopies.

Cons

For "budgetary reasons," my contract work for an industrial automation company got "offshored" to Asia. After working on the same ongoing project for over six years, Aquent didn't respond to my application for work on other projects, and they completely cut me off from company email or anything else. In total, I had worked for them for more than 7.5 years, and this is the way they treat people?! Also, I never got a raise in that entire time. Actually, I went from being a fulltime employee to hourly talent when there was an earlier shortage of work.
