A great place to work, but a 1039 appointment means you get laid off every year. - Biological Science Technician bei US Forest Service: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Months long layoffs are tough financially. 1039 employees don't get step increases. Yearly pay increases depend on congress, which means that it doesn't keep up with inflation. Not a lot of housing options in the area. There are very few openings for permanent positions and lots of seasonal employees looking for stability.
