Pros

Very good working environment; friendly and brought in as part of the team. More so than many other contracts. Easy to get along with, etc.

Cons

Still not an actual employee, so many events/perks didn't apply. Overseas travel with 70+ hour weeks while there. A-contracts require a 100-day break after a year.

Advice to Management

Be sure contractors are actually being talked to by their agencies. A- Contracts suck, try to avoid them. V- Hire as much as possible.
