Pros

none honestly. we were overworked and underpaid.

Cons

Honestly, this job taught me a lot about work ethic. But it was the most horrendous job I ever had. After a year you switch to salary and it paid less than I was making when getting paid hourly. Everyone in the company is rude and no one cares about you. You have to make placements but get $0 for it. Genuinely the worst job I ever had and you HAD to work 8.5 hours a day and if you don’t reply on MS teams within 1 second you get in trouble. You could have 30 active contractors and still make $0 because of that wack bonus structure. I cannot emphasize how much I hated this job and how stressed and anxious I was every single day. Additionally, you have to pay nearly $200+ for HORRIBLE health care benefits on top of how little $ you’re already making. Do not join this company.

Pros

Good compensation, while it lasted.

Cons

Despite being assured that bench time would always be paid, I was asked to take weeks unpaid (over the phone, nothing in writing, very sketchy). The next time I was on the bench, I was made to take PTO and then laid off when I was on the bench "too long." I really regret taking this job.

Garbage company

Pros

Could make a decent amount of money if you’re a sleazy sales person

Cons

Completely trick people into not thinking this is just a sales job. They basically just throw any single person at their open jobs to see who sticks for the lowest hourly rate offered to make them the most money, not the best fit for the company searching for someone. You are required to make 70+ calls a day AND every move you make is tracked. They wound up forcing an in office model after telling everyone recently hired they would be remote.
