Contract Data Analyst
Pros: The compensation is fair and as a contract employee it is easy to move around the company to experience different organizations.  Having a limit on contract hours is pretty great, a hard stop at 40 hours is a relief during peak seasons.
Cons: Many teams treat vendors as a lower quality person and don't dedicate any time to training, this is unmotivational for any employee and causes frustration.  Finding a good manager can be a challenge.
