Great work but admin nightmare

Pros

The mission, obviously. The work environment.

Cons

The contract admin nightmare. 11 months per year max, x 4 years. Then you're done. Bye bye. No recourse. No benefits if contractor. A day rate and a thank you. Contractors are third class employee after General Services staff and Professional Staff, despite doing most of the actual work.
