Pros

So long as the worker is competent and reasonably educated for the desired position, there is great opportunity to move-up due to the harsh work environment in the Middle East leading to high attrition.

Cons

As stated in the Pros --- working in the Middle East at least 84-hours per week in a war zone can lead to high attrition.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
