Pros

The entire team is in one pit, so we can all hear each other's phone calls and interactions with candidates/clients. It's a feedback-rich environment, and all of the partners make themselves available for help.

Cons

Can't really think of any. I wish there was more junk food in the kitchen instead of healthy stuff.

Pros

As a staffing company they found me a position that fit my wants and needs within a matter of days. My recruiter Kevin, has been absolutely amazing and easy to work with as well as easy to get in touch with when I need him. They make reporting your time extremely easy by using an online portal and also went over my resume and tips for interviewing.

Cons

I can't say there have been any cons thus far. Everything was explained to me very thoroughly and they even offer benefits and paid holidays after a certain time frame of working through them.

Pros

Usually pretty consistent, great employees.

Cons

quite a few payment issues. They overpay then deduct it out of your next paycheck, unwilling to work with you on THEIR overcompensation error. They are slow to repay you back when you submit an expense report. Poor communication at times.
