Pros

Weekly pay is very nice

Cons

Payroll has a tendency to short-change your weekly pay. I am not sure if an intern is performing the hourly calculations or just someone who sucks at mathematics. Almost every week, I have to email payroll about my pay. It fluctuates almost weekly for the same 40 hours I put in. What really screws with their payroll folks, is when an employee's hours are 10 to 12 hours a day versus an 8 hour day. Payroll, for some reason, uses different calculations to determine regular pay, overtime, double time, and holiday pay as compared to other companies I have worked for. Especially for those employees who work a 10 to 12 hour shift. And if you have to work on a holiday such as Labor day, there's no option on the time sheet to indicate that you worked on a holiday. You have to give a week's notice via email to payroll and cross your fingers that you get the holiday pay plus your regular hours on the following check. Of all the employers I have worked for in my life, I have never come across so many payroll issues as with those attributed from Collabera. Oh.... And please be sure to have direct deposit. Or else you will not get your check in the mail until late Saturday or the following Monday.

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working with Collabera. The team is professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive of their employees. My employee relationship manager, Jaydeep Haryani, does an excellent job of staying connected. He regularly checks in to see how things are going, whether I have any concerns, and whether there is anything the company can do to support me better. That level of consistent communication really makes you feel valued rather than just another contractor. The pay structure is competitive and transparent, and the onboarding and placement process was smooth. Collabera also did a great job matching me with a role that aligns well with my experience and interests. I’m currently working with Molina Healthcare through Collabera, and it has been a very positive engagement overall. What I appreciate most is that the company maintains ongoing engagement even after placement, which is something many staffing firms do not do well. Overall, I’ve had a great experience and would recommend Collabera to professionals looking for good opportunities and supportive HR engagement.

Cons

None that I’ve experienced so far. My experience with Collabera has been very positive in terms of support, communication, and pay structure.
