Pros
There are great places to walk around. There is free coffee - when management feels like replenishing the cabinets You can learn alot from people who are willing to share information from you. Upper management does not know anyone by name, HR does not speak to you in the hallways but they can try to help you by copy pasting this off of the intranet sites. Corporate and Contract are very distinctly different Corporate does not associate with Contract employees in the same way.
Cons
Management is shut lipped about things that happen. Clients are given upper hand and management caters to them and not their own employees who actually do the work. STAY away from EOSH and NISC III Contract. Management does not communicate their schedules or work schedules to people who need to know where they are. Rules are are expected to be enforced by Program Analyst or Assistants. There a lot of disgruntled employees here and a very high turnover rate. Commuter incentive program only allows for $120 taxed reimbursement. Telework days are not given to all employees. Favoritism is shown to people who have client that generate the most revenue or that bring in the most business - During The shutdown - people were forced to use vacation hours that they did not even accrue - causing madness for 5 months because everyone that was hired is new
