Pros

It’s a job! They have benefits.

Cons

Horrible agency! Very difficult to reach anyone. No one responds to your emails, text messages or phone calls unless you put HR on the email. Out of pocket expenses for bg check, fingerprinting and TB test. They will reimburse but only after 120 days. You’re treated like a cattle call and number not as an individual. The pay isn’t worth it depending on location. Also, you don’t get your paycheck deposited until way in the evening. They will blame the bank but according to the bank, they go by when the payroll is submitted to them from the company. None of the software is user friendly. The timesheet for requesting days off is antiquated and they never respond to your request. The app is a joke and has gone down at least three times when I worked there. I worked there for 2 months. Trainings and orientations are a joke.
