Pros

They find you a job

Cons

Like any other temp agency they take a fee for their job placing services. If you are cool with that then all else is fine.

Pros

Strong company culture, excellent on-boarding process and integration. There seems to be a very active senior management through the c-level that is committed to remaining relevant in the industry while also actively focused internally - fostering strong employer/ employee communication and relationships.

Cons

You hit the ground running and depending on what role you land in, the processes for your day to day role are not clearly outlined. This is okay long-term because you can create what works best for you, but short term you can feel like your drinking from a firehose. But there is no lack of assistance if you ask.

Pros

Many kind and extremely talented employees.

Cons

This is a fear-driven workplace. Management is a joke. Gossip runs rampant. Management does not communicate directly, but rather gives silent treatment, talks behind employees' backs, and spreads horrid rumors. Does not provide direction, encouragement, benefits, educational or advancement opportunities, or trust. They would rather pick you apart and tear you down then admit mistakes and change direction. If you're job hunting, keep looking. You're better off.
