Pros

Very easy to talk with and get things done. I did some content writing and publishing for a different company through Kelly services

Cons

This is a work service place so they set you up with jobs to work at. You usually are contracted out to other places. This isn't bad it's just like working for 2 different companies.

Pros

Kelly Services provides contractors to large Fortune 100 companies in the area; it is a good opportunity to get to know the people and culture, and possibly get a leg up into a permanent position. Great transition job as well....

Cons

You are, after all, a contractor...you could end up waiting years, or doing multiple stints before anything comes available with the company you want to get on with. Paid time off is hard to achieve, but that's the nature of contractor work.
