Pros

Firm is small enough to where they treat you like a person but large enough to where they have great opportunities for projects or assignments to work.

Cons

Often the space in which RFA lands work are with and for great companies, and in order to do so, they have to be very competitive. That said, gaining work in such a competitive marketplace does not drive the highest dollar to its employees due to such competitive rates.

Thanks for the review! We are a conservative company for sure. That trait is what has kept us in business for 55+ years. New policies and company changes always take time to roll out as we want to make sure they are vetted for the whole population. We appreciate everyone's patience in these cases!
