      Pros

      The pros to working at ORAU left many years ago. It is only a matter of time before the ORISE contract is broken up and the shell of a once great organization finally shatters to reveal of what should be a solid core but in reality is nothing but an empty black abyss of deep state and woke ideology.

      Cons

      Executives lie to their employees. They promise promotions and pay raises but then "change their mind" and don't have fortitude to tell you. This is all after you have been forced into covering multiple positions with not even a "thank you."

      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.
