Pros

They attempt to “shake up” the IT Staffing industry

Cons

I think the most disappointing part about this company is the racial discrimination that occurs in all five offices. This is something incredibly disheartening, but when I recommended persons of color for job opportunities, the Sales Representatives would frequently refuse to represent candidates that were not standard caucasians or had an accent or a slight language barrier, even though the candidate was completely qualified. They violate common rules of staffing when they call candidates for positions. It is within FCC guidelines that you cannot directly ask a candidate if they have any felonies, misdemeanors, bankruptcies, or foreclosures on houses. This is actually a standard line in their training development program. Out of all the things that made me the most sad and ashamed to have spent three years at this company. When the first person of color I had the privilege to work for and they effectively forced to re-sign due to his “cultural difference” from the office, they had sent him a release form after he resigned to assure he would not sue the company. I had five other colleagues resign around the same time as this individual, and not one person received this form.

Pros

The communication from the recruiting team was outstanding throughout the entire hiring process. A special shout-out to the Director of Business Operations, who was always approachable, responsive, and willing to answer any questions or address any concerns promptly. Their professionalism made the onboarding experience smooth and stress-free. The hiring process was quick and efficient, with clear communication at every step. The payroll system is also straightforward, reliable, and easy to use, making timesheet submission and payments hassle-free. Overall, it has been a positive experience working with this contract hiring company. Their transparency, accessibility, and efficient processes make them a great partner for contract professionals.

Cons

The only area that could use improvement is the health insurance benefits, as they could be more comprehensive and offer better coverage. Other than that, I have not encountered any significant issues during my time with the company.
