Pros

Location of Office

Cons

They never pay their providers and never promote from their temp pool. I was a top performer with the best numbers out the group and I was passed over twice for a permanent position. I still gets calls to this day from providers that haven't been paid. It makes me feel like I was the one who didn't pay them since I was the one who found the SP and contracted them.

Pros

Good client portfolio, on time pay checks, unlimited PTO

Cons

1)Annual merit increase is a joke, 2.5% if you performed above and beyond. Huge gender inequality when it comes to salary. 2)Health insurance is awful especially for such a large company. VERY HIGH deductible insurance for the overall poor coverage. 3)No room for growth at all. Favoritism and chaos throughout the management. People are worked until they burnout or quit, and those who remain are unhappy or actually unqualified to work elsewhere! 4) No management of the client. Whatever client wants, management acts super reactive to provide, regardless of time, money, impacts, etc. No long term solution thinking nor proactive approach whatsoever. 5) The level of inefficiency is shocking.
