      Contractor staff are serfs to fed staff: 2nd class at best

      Pros

      NASA does important and exciting work that benefits humanity.

      Cons

      If you are one of NASA's 18,000 federal employees, you have great benefits. If you are one of NASA's 50,000 employees, you will be a serf. (Akin to a member of a servile feudal class bound to the job and subject to the will of federal employees. In other words, poor benefits, extra work and hours for zero pay (because *everyone* is a salaryman), and when folks leave, you will do yet another job-for no pay. And so on.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing people, fascinating work, working on things bigger than yourself. Low stress, job security, great team environment, achievements are recognized by team members and opportunities to pursue ideas.

      Cons

      Program Funding is outside your control. Pay is not as high as what you would see at a commercial work place, Pay raises are based on time in grade, not accomplishments.
