Pros
Program manager, director, IT staff and human resources are all very approachable, personable and genuine. They are helpful and available when you need them. The salary and benefits offered are highly competitive.
Cons
As the positions are typically contract positions for the government, contract professionals are treated as hourly employees by the government 'point of contact'. Because of the nature of being a contract worker, a highly educated professional is limited by the confines of the contract for that position.
