Pros

Flexibility Great coworkers Easy Work....Desk Job Great learning experience Good experience to have on your resume Pretty decent reputation as an employer GLOBAL Clean work environment

Cons

Not much communication with upper management or even middle management. No true pay raises. Hires through staffing agencies (good for them, bad for you--just that much longer that you have to go without benefits IF they keep you after your assignment).

Pros

Had a competent and caring manager. Made some decent contacts with colleagues. Work environment was mostly friendly with lower level employees.

Cons

Senior management was incompetent. Poor business forecasting. One day you're being told the company is doing well, the next day you hear second-hand that a round of layoffs just occured.

The pay isnt all that great, and sometimes if you are working at one of there off site ficlities and are doing a good job but want to move it can be hard in doing so, they hold on to good employees and make it hard to advance.
