Pros

Benefits are OK. HR in Milwaukee is good.

Cons

Contract employees are just numbers. When the customer cancelled a contract, they laid me off on 12/23 so that they don't have to pay holiday pay for Christmas -- this after I have been working for them for several years. You have to remember to ask for vacation pay, otherwise you lose it. Local HR sucks.
