Pros

-Flexible schedule (only if your contracted) -Friendly coworkers -There are good restaurants in the area

Cons

-You have to work on site despite being contracted, you have to follow the dress code, and follow all standard employee rules without the benefits. -They will offer you a nice hourly rate but then you will be responsible for paying the taxes which means at the end of the year you can owe around 10k if you were working full time hours making your nice hourly rate not that great. -You don't get any of the benefits. They basically hire contracted workers so they can treat them like regular employees but not pay the benefits.

Pros

Worked fully remote which worked for me. Great health benefits. Worked for health plan not clinical.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth without a college degree. Typical corporate where they cut resources and make big demands. Many long time employees which I thought was a pro at first, but realized they are stuck in old ways and don’t really want to hear a fresh new perspective or even spend time developing new people. As someone with ambition and interest in contributing, I felt stuck, limited, and bored.
