Pros

Benefits are OK. HR in Milwaukee is good.

Cons

Contract employees are just numbers. When the customer cancelled a contract, they laid me off on 12/23 so that they don't have to pay holiday pay for Christmas -- this after I have been working for them for several years. You have to remember to ask for vacation pay, otherwise you lose it. Local HR sucks.

Set schedule. Team work environment. Great coworkers. Decent pay. Benefits.

12 hour shifts. Point system for absences, with or without a doctor's note you still get a point for missing.
