Pros

Unfortunately, I can only think of one. They paid for my monthly parking fee for where I parked for the company I was contracted for. They also paid me on time, however, that is a requirement, and not a "positive" aspect of the business.

Cons

No benefits to speak of, which is odd compared to other contracting companies I've looked at and utilized. No time off (ever, no matter how long you do contracts with them, may have changed by now, but was this way when I worked there), no paid vacations, even though the company I was contracted to did have paid holidays (mandatory, most times, so I couldn't even choose to work on those days), and no overtime pay, not that you couldn't *do* overtime, you just got no additional bonus. I thought this was all standard for contracts, but boy was I wrong. Once I started asking other contractors from different companies, they had many of the things that I had to go without. In addition, I was "forgotten" about for over eight months and was not even contacted by them until my contract was due to expire (it was renewed). Apparently the person handling my contract quit and they didn't find me until the company I worked for wanted to extend the contract. Extremely disappointing since other contracting companies that were used by my company (in the same department even) would come by monthly to check in with their contractor and frequently bring in cookies, snacks, and even take the contractor out to lunch. Tried on numerous occasions to get a hold of them by phone just to check in to see what was going on, and was given the runaround until finally told that the person handling my contract was no longer with the business.

Pros

Put on a great show

Cons

Here is a small list of why I am never working with them again. - One of their recruiters miss-represented me to a business. I was told that they were finalizing everything the next day and I would have to interview that day even though I could not interview until after work hours. They then schedule an interview after work hours (I was fine with this as the interviewer was also fine with it) for that same day. I then find out that they were at the start of the processes and were not making a decision for another few weeks. I feel this has caused a bridge to be burned at that place. - The position the finally placed me at I found out after accepting the position it is a contract to hire position and not a direct placement even though during the interview processes I was led to believe it was direct placement. I was given no time frame on how long the contract is or anything else and just gaslit into believing it was in my emails somewhere (I have never found said email). - Also was never informed on when any benefits would be active. Turns out it was a 3 month waiting period and only found out well after my time starting. - After converting over to full time the recruiter would call me every so often to see if I was available to go to another position or see if I knew someone from my previous place of employment. I also informed said recruiter if I ever needed help I would contact them (a polite way of saying please stop contacting me) and they keep calling me after over a month of me just not answering their calls or texts. These guys legit are the worst recruiting firm I have ever seen and that includes the ones that make you "prove" you are a good software developer before placing an interview. If I was a business using these guys I would not trust a single word out of their mouth about any candidate as it could be a straight up lie. If you are being recruited for a job from these guys I would run away and not look back.
