Pros

Some site posts have good benefits. Everyone I've worked with (who isn't management) so far has been a great team member. OT hours are almost always available if you need extra money.

Cons

Management does not care about their employees. I was a loyal employee known to always be on time/trustworthy for 6 years. Regardless, I was left out in the cold once they lost their contract with my last post. They've offered me positions that don't meet the hours I'm available, pay less than I was making,( let alone what im worth,) and/or has less benefits. I was told i didn't need to worry about job placement ahead of time by Management, I believe this was a way to just dismiss my concerns. I just would have appreciated honesty, so I could have found a job ahead of time. Would have been great to have been shown a little respect considering the effort I put in to be a great employee. Also, every couple months I'd find that I was missing several hours of pay. I always got my money, eventually. But I know alot of employees who don't check their paycheck! Please, ALWAYS check your paychecks- people!

Pros

I currently cannot think of any pros

Cons

To get started allied hires for DES offices and Felix T. And David Deem are the main managers for this position, I recommend avoiding them at all costs. Getting hired on I explained that I have children and they gave me an upfront lie that they are flexible for emergencies. I have to take one of my children to a specialist and it is an important matter that needs to get taken care of right away to which these two deny maybe being able to take the appointment day off even though I gave them an entire weeks notice. Now they are demanding I show them my child’s appointment information or they will fire me for not coming the day of. This is not the first time I’ve needed a day for one of my children and felt like I have to fight tooth and nail for even half a day. They have lost many employees in just the last week and frankly I believe it’s because of them, how they are and how they talk down to and treat their employees.
