Pros

They didn’t bother me too much.

Cons

You will NOT make money with these people. I say EVERY WEEKEND with no work. As soon as 4pm hits on Friday they are gone and leave you to sit all weekend. I couldn’t even do anything enjoyable over those weekends because I wasn’t making any money. I had to borrow money once just to get food. I requested a cash advance, which I never got, and they didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me no, they just ignored me. I wasted three months of my life with these people and had nothing to show for it. They do not care about you, they only care about whatever load they put you on. This company is cheap and it’s easier for them to replace you after you leave than it is to make you happy. Avoid at all costs!
