Pros
One and maybe the only pro is that they are hands off and will not micro-manage you. This may be a problem for some but in my particular field it is a plus.
Cons
Where to begin... - in my experience my recruiters have not advocated fmeat heir contractors appropriately and they have pretty much made it clear that their interest is in the client and their bottom line.. I do not hear feedback on my progress, work or know status of my contract. If possible look for a permanent position on your own while at Aerotek. -The benefits are pretty crappy but that's typical for a temp company i suppose. If you want good benefits this is another reason you need a perm position. I basically have to pay for every doctors visit out of pocket except for $20 that the insurance picks up. Thank god my husband has a good plan. - paid days off every 400 hours workee and unpaid holidays. Another reason not to use a temp agency unless desperate. -Cannot apply for a permanent position even while working as a contractor or months after the contract ends or the employer pays a finders fee. So even if your employer is interested in keeping you, you cannot work right away. - the recruiters use slime ball tactics like calling your previous managers and references to harass them for business. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion.
