Pros

If they have a spot for you, they'll work hard for you. Once you are employed they go dark, but if you need something they are great at helping you out. Sometimes it takes a while to get to the right person, but you'll always find that person within a day or two. They are better than most staffing companies in this way.

Cons

If they don't have a role for you when you come off a project you are done. There is a lot of turnover with the staffing coordinators so if you lose the person that got you a gig, you are pretty much a one shot and done employee.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
