Pros

They ignore me so much it's easy to forget I work for them.

Cons

Just like most recruiting firms, all their recruiters are college grads with no real work experience. Unlike the fake reviews here, they invest nothing in their contractors. Quick to spend the money I make them but no reinvestment in skills.

Pros

Other techs seem to be good people

Cons

Late payment, payment was supposed to be by electronic transfer. Three weeks into a project, I received a paper check. Electronic transfers did not start until week three. Project managers do not like to be confronted when they are wrong. If you do this, they will lie to get you out. I was accused of an incident when it was the management that made a mistake in the first place. When I confronted the nurse that filed the complaint, she informed me it was because management had not notified her that we would be deploying in her area that day. This was allegedly my fault, and they used it to terminate me. Disabilities will be used against you. I have a heart condition and needed to attend a few doctor's appointments. I was told that this was grounds for termination, when I brought up ADA, they made another accusation as grounds. These are not good people in general. This is not a company you want to work for.

Pros

None really. I only took this job because I didn't know any better and it was the first offer I got out of college. I would NEVER do this to myself again.

Cons

If you have ANY other options on the table besides this one, take it! Do not subject yourself to this kind of treatment from a company! These kinds of contracting companies are as close to a scam as I've ever gotten. You're hired for a pay that's way below what you would get anywhere else in the industry (I was about 20K below market value with them), and it's all done with a promise of "it's only for a few months and then you'll get a contract with the company". I've gotten multiple recognitions from the company, so I know I was doing a good job, and yet my contractor contract just kept getting extended. No full time offer I was promised. During this time, I was offered criminal benefits that are just there to meet the bare minimum, had ppl that knew little to nothing about my role assign me technical training that was an absolute waste of time, and I found out that if the company I was contracted to wanted to hire me full time, then they'd have to "buy" me from Brooksource for an amount that was pretty ridiculous that I guess it makes sense they decided to just keep all their contractors as contractors. I have a normal full time job now and the difference is insane. I would never go back to something like this again. If worse comes to worse, I'll work as a waiter in a restaurant
