      Pros

      The overall Vaco Nation culture is 2nd to none.

      Cons

      Each local office has its own idea of what that culture is or should be and sometimes misses the mark.

      Vaco Sucks. Typical Employment Agency Scammers!

      Pros

      There are no Applicant Paid Fees, so that is the one saving grace. Otherwise, not many pros it is a standard "tape your hand to the phone" high pressure environment.

      Cons

      Recruiters are used car salesmen, they run fake ads to bolster the talent pool (when no such job order exists), they are merely submitters....hoping and praying that 1 of the 75 people they submitted to the employer is liked and gets an interview. No one has the courage to tell the employer, look this guy/gal has it all, they are all just wimps afraid to upset an employer. They will promise you the moon, then never touch base to tell you that the employer didn't like you. Basically, they are all just quota driven snake oil used car hustlers...but that is true of most agency environments, so beware!

      Pros

      paid time off, if you decide to stay past that 60-90 day after start date

      Cons

      -Double standards -super micro-management -favoritism of certain workers over others -heavy work tracking system, feels like prison/factory bootcamp -no FTE conversion opportunity -tries to keep you for super cheap wage -restricts and take away rights you had before as a contractor (no shuttle/remote work, 8 hours in the office even if you're long commuter)
