Pros

good for interim labor needs

Cons

bureaucracy galore unfair contracting practices poor management oversight lazy employees are untouchable temps get the crap I contracted at Pfizer headquarters in an interim project coordinator role. I had one boss who fortunately gave me leeway but I had to work my butt off to prove myself. Icing on the cake was I found a lateral position to the one I worked and that contractor billing rate was 50% higher than my agency's rate (and from that I got a mere pittence). You can bust your a** trying to get somewhere in this company but things will never change. If you're a contractor, get while any gettin' is good and keep your eyes peeled for greener pastures.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
