Pros

Because of the amount and variety of the workload, you will learn to use a lot of different platforms and tools, and it's a great way to build experience with them.

Some developers and testers are extremely dedicated individuals, and it was a pleasure to work with them.

Cons

Contractors are treated like cattle, and any input you have will be, at best, ignored. Management will make every effort to remind you that you are a number to them.

Micromanagement will be a constant, to the point where it will openly interfere with your work.

On top of that, deadlines will be unreasonable.

Pay is very low, vis-à-vis the same job at other companies in the industry.

Advancement opportunities are minimal at best. Even if you do well and your supervisor wants to convert you to FTE status, take the statement with a grain of salt, as it largely depends on management several levels above them, and nobody will ever be transparent with you on where you actually stand.

Advice to Management

Be more candid with your employees and respect their contributions. Otherwise, when you're about to complain about high turnover, look in the mirror.
