Pros

The jobs are usually fairly flexible as far as hours and nearly every firm I've worked with has decent and honest people supervising.

Cons

The work and experience you gain is pretty useless except for another temporary/contract job. There is also little chance at being picked-up by a firm full-time as they either do not value the work you are doing as being valuable legal work or because of the contract that they have with the agency requiring a considerable buyout fee.

Pros

At least they pay weekly

Cons

The recruiters do not seem to know what they are doing. They do not make an effort to roll attorneys to the next projects. They seem to be constantly hiring new people who invariably turn out to be substandard. Other doc review companies are much more professional re how and who they choose. Those that stay have no other place to go.
