Pros

Great people, great health benefits, unlimited sick time, 1 floating holiday, 1 diversity day per year, accrual sick and vacation days. Work from home program. Able to work 9 hours per day and have Fridays off every other week.

Cons

Management do not care about the employees. Managers/Directors lack management training Workplace bullying in full affect. Favoritism, and lack of respect. Too many meetings without result. Nepotism is alive and well. Everyone is married to each other or related in some way. Many employees with tenure are afraid to speak about poor morale because of fear of reprisal. Would not recommend anyone to work there.

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.
