Pros

Decent pay. Extremely easy work. Site supervisors are easy to deal with.

Cons

Lied about having full time positions and a permanent site available upon completion of training. Middle management is a joke. Only contact they would make with employees was via text messages. Unprofessional. Double Standards.
