- They are extremely good at selling the position as better than it is. Do not take every word they say as truth
- I went in thinking I would be placed at clients to do Staff Accountant work, with maybe some engagements here and there doing just AR. My first engagement was almost a 2 year contract doing SALES. I told my manager that I did not sign up for this, I am here to do accounting work. She tried saying that I don't get to turn down engagements and it was all about timing and what was available. Luckily, a client looking for an accountant responded before the client looking for a sales person did.
- I ended up working three engagements: Staff Accountant, Collections, and AR
- During my 3rd engagement, they asked how I was liking being an FTEP. I told them I wasn't really happy, and I thought the job opportunity with them was going to be different. I asked if I could work with the Permanent Placement team to find a full time job somewhere else (they would still be making a bunch of money off me by doing so). They said that was fine. I got one interview (the company ended up hiring internally) and then they never sent me anything else or even touched base every now and then to let me know there weren't any opportunities. I genuinely think they just forgot about me. Then they laid me off and told me the Perm team was going to help me find another job and they literally never reached out.
- I will say, the managers are VERY overworked. They are in meetings all day and they are constantly on the phone with clients or colleagues. They really do have a lot to juggle. With that being said though, that means you (on the bottom of the totem pole) are even less important and your needs will probably go unmet.
- Oh yeah, medical benefits were the worst I'd ever had. Expensive, subpar plans
