Pros

Company culture Inspire program - employee shoutouts Supportive in wanting to see professional development

Cons

Thrive program not as expected. This program is in place to support employees finding a new placement once a sponsor/client ends a contract, but the program was not helpful and once contract ends, you are no longer in Thrive. In the past, once your contract ends with a sponsor, you have 6 months within Thrive to find another placement. So many changes that are not beneficial to the employee in the long-run.
