Pros

If you're a hard worker and say "yes" as often as possible when called about availability for work, and if you enjoy a seeing different workplaces, you'll do well. Allows you to have a job, and definitely a life too. Great for someone entering the workforce who knows they want to work but wants to learn about what they want in a workplace and in a job.

Cons

Not very high pay. No health benefits etc as a temp worker. Not a lot of work even if you're one of the first people they call.

Pros

- possibility to visit offices in other countires and share experience with them - very nice and professional people at some locations (Germany / Hamburg, Hungary)

Cons

Unfortunatelly company has closed its offices and left the Czech Republic. As a senior member of the team I had a chance to meet both local and regional managers, but they were only take care of themselves and not of the company and its future. To survive and have good many was a mantra for them. They had no marketing strategy, very bad internal recruitment system (TurboRecruit), very bad management style. The local manager (expat from Sveden) was very weak, lazy and only earning huge salary and looking for the "sinking boat" and not acting in a right way. Partly the reason was intercultural lack of understanding. Promotion were not based on skills or performance but only on good relationship with management - you needed to be management fan to be prpomoted.
