Svantaggi
The current senior managers are not leaders. They are anti-military spouses and contractors. They have briefed full-time employees, in writing, as well as in several meetings, that contractors are subpar employees who are unqualified and they want to "get rid of them" as project managers. The current rash of firings was disgusting. 4 out of 4 were from a protected class, and most had spoken out about the disrespect and exploitations of FLG's contract employees, poor company culture, and hostile work environment. Other items to consider: The company misclassifies 1099 employees and will expect some contract positions to cover for full-time employees while they are taking leave. Contractors can work for up to 6 months before getting any pay. Contractors are not given compensation amounts or needed materials and requirements to complete their jobs before starting. Scope increases without compensation increase. If you refuse to do additional work without compensation, there is a possibility you won't get paid at all. Unrealistic deadlines with the expectation for contractors to be on call 24/7, while full-time employees are getting unlimited PTO (personal time off) for weeks at a time, sometimes to work other jobs.
