      Pros

      Variety of Work: Contracting allows you to work on diverse projects across different industries, which can enhance skills and keep work interesting. Independence: Contractors generally operate as their own boss, which provides greater control over how they manage their work and time.

      Cons

      Instability: Contract work can be less stable than full-time employment, with gaps between contracts and uncertainty about future job prospects and ORAU does not do a great job at transition planning or business development to help fill gaps. Limited Job Security: Contract positions are often temporary and can be terminated with little notice, leading to reduced work weeks and financial uncertainty.

      Pros

      The pros heavily depend on your host facility, program manager and mentor. My mentor is great and allows me lots of freedom to do my work and develop my skills. Depending on your host facility you get to work with federal agencies and potentially get connections for a permanent job.

      Cons

      We are considered not employed, but a "participant in a program". Our salary is a taxable income. There is no benefits other than an offered health insurance that costs hundreds each month out of your salary for minimal coverage. There is no PTO. You have to ask permission if you want to take a day off or go on a trip. Any problems with the management goes unnoticed and you get told by ORISE to speak to the program manager even if they are the problem.
