Pros

The on-line training is helpful.

Cons

The reason that you should not believe them when they say temp-to-hire, is on their contract with the employer it has a fee if the employer hires you, unlike most temp agencies which usually have a 1,000.00 fee (Kelley Services, etc.), Accountemps fee is 35% of your annual salary. Of course any company would be crazy to pay that fee, so just know when you get an assignment that it is only a long term temp position, because of this demand more money upfront, because once they hire you they will never raise your salary. Also unlike other temp agencies (K-force, etc.), once you are in an assignment, even if you are unhappy, they will not transfer you, you will just stay there until you quit or the assignment ends.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
