Pros

If you are a good bargainer, then this is the place for you. Very good packages for those who bargain or who can convince the higher management.

Cons

No vision for an employer. You will be as long as the project is there. One the project is gone, there is no backup plan. Company is good but you need to bargain. Proving you capabilities and assuming that your work speaks what you are, does not work in this company. Recognizing based on the work done is not part of this company. You need to strive for your own recognizance. Higher management and senior people are from ages in the same company, so lots of favoritism. Not a place for short time player.

Pros

They are fairly hands off as a consulting agency and are pretty accommodating when there are issues getting time approved by the client. The vacation allowance is pretty good, but new employees do not get the same amount I am getting. Aside from that, there is very little to distinguish them or set them above other agencies. This may be unique to the Detroit office, however, and may not be consistent through the rest of the organization.

Cons

We almost never have any contact with our account rep unless we approach him. The on-site rep is woefully unresponsive. It takes months to even get a performance review, only to have them tell you that you cannot get a raise without doing a bunch of work to try and get yourself re-classified. Basically, they bill the client for my time, take a cut of my pay, and drop my pay and benefits on occasion without offering me any value to make working for them worthwhile. Meanwhile, they ask for referrals to help get more of their people hired without doing much of anything for you in return.

Pros

Might have been a great place to work at one point, but forget about it now. It could be the Detroit, MI location, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt there. Might seem sad, but that is the only pro that I have for the company.

Cons

Just name it. Horrible pay. No growth opportunities. No room for training. Benefits have been cut to practically nothing. Management is not responsive, unless you start including their management in the emails. You might see your account rep once a year if you are lucky. I suggest you take a picture so that you can recognize him in the future. Stay away from the Detroit, MI office.
