Pros

Zero pros aside from the fact that they manage to take minimal taxes out of your paycheck. Still doesn't even come close to making it worth it.

Cons

Management is a bunch of liars. The job is described as a recruiter/business development role, which it is to an extent but goals are nowhere near accomplishable. In an office of 5, if you don't drink the kool-aid or buy into the "Randstad way", they'll find a way to make your live miserable. It's a sin to take a 30 minute lunch. Awful, awful work environment. Toxic would be the word.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
