Pros

Upskilling resources are solid Well supported in first 2 years Events take the edge off that contractor chilliness you might feel Great way to get started I do feel that my time is protected

Cons

Being a contractor sucks in so many different ways, even if I’m technically a full time employee at Brooksource I was promised a smooth and swift transition to a full time role after the first year or so, that’s come and gone and the conversation never seems to move forward. At this point I think I would just need a counter offer to actually get a full time position wish I was fought for harder, or that my expectations were better managed. Company events kind of fell off, but think management is working on it.
