Government Contract Company Question

[smf42588]

I am a military spouse who recently relocated to Virginia Beach. I have three years ICU experience and I have been offered a job through Loyal Source Government Staffing as a civilian contract nurse working in the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center ICU. I understand the difference between working for a government contract company, and working for the actual government, however I have a few other questions.

My questions are:

1. Does anyone have personal experience working for Loyal Source? If so, could you share any pros and cons please?

2. Does anyone have any AD or GS experience working along side government contract company employees?

The offer sounds really great, I am just wondering is it too good to be true? Do contract company employees just fill in shifts wherever needed or is it truly equal as described to me?

Any input would really be appreciated.

I also have a job offer from Loyal Source. Have you already started working with them? How is it? This is my first travel job, and I am excited/nervous at the same time.

So have anyone taken a position with them? I am looking into it but I have found really bad reviews about this company that have me worried.

Did you end up accepting the contracting position? I'm in the process of applying to a civilian position at a VA. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I work for MedTrust at NMCP. Feel free to direct message me with any questions. My department isn't staffed by Loyal Source (I think they used to be), but I assume they are pretty similar in how they handle things.

I don't have enough posts yet to message you privately. What were the terms of your contract? Did you get the hours, length of contract, pay and unit you were promised?

I messaged you just now :)
