Pros

Company is not hung up on people moving around internally (geographically or job-title wise). Slow process for advancement, but, advancement is a key initiative. Positive people. Most employee's their have been 10+ years with the company. Good (expensive) benefits, pretty positive people (super important in recruiting, a very negative industry).

Cons

The initiatives from the top, are great, but are NOT being hit on at the ground level. PT competes with other large firms (like Kelly) and falls short due to branding. Poor training on the Technical side of recruiters (giving Kelly a bad name). Very corporate, meaning, 8-5pm, very little flexibility, processes are strict (good and bad).

Pros

they have a sharepoint site with all documents for your review about employments. they give you a good amount of 401K, pre-tax commuter money options, pay pretty well, and pretty much leave you alone and let you work with the company you are contracted outt o.

Cons

first year PTO days are use or lose. During subsequent years, vacation days are buy-back and personal days are use or lose. They tax you super heavily on buy back days. also, insurance is expensive.
