Pros

Have met some lovely team leaders and colleagues. Free tea, coffee and milk. Job is easy enough to get, interview and induction period straight forward. Day rate is attractive until they double your target and then a week later decrease your day rate.

Cons

Very cliquey. Don't get anywhere for being actually good at your job. Favouritism is everywhere, you have to brown nose your way to promotion or a change in role. Quality checks are often unrealistic due to people in quality getting their mates cases and making sure that their friends get passes but if you're a nobody in quality checkers eyes feel prepared to have harsh marks due to quality being on power trips. Every now and then senior managers hold "feedback sessions" which result in nothing being taken on board. One particular ops manager tells people they are not allowed to go home until a certain amount of cases is done.

Pros

Getting the job is not the most difficult - in hindsight this is due to high turnover of staff. The daily rate is good if you can hit target otherwise you are not paid. It comes down to the luck of the draw with the cases you are assigned. Sometimes you get a big case but if you are given small ones its very likely you can not make up the deficit. it is set up in such a manner to ensure that you will get the shortest straw.

Cons

'This is contracting you will not be paid this week until you hit X' - This is what you are threatened with by management every day and repeatedly on a DAILY basis. This creates the worst atmosphere of master and a demoralised slave workforce. You make friends with colleagues who randomly disappear - you eventually become accustomed to the regular unannounced quiet mass sacking for not hitting target. The 'career prospects' the other reviews are speaking of is seriously misleading.

Pros

None, yep none, and still none.

Cons

Forced to work extra hours to meet target or advised to you would not be paid. Advised to lie to Risk Management that this is not the case.
