Pros

On the one hand, this employer can provide a wealth of experience, match a candidate with a good temporary position quickly, and provide a business network which the candidate can take with them, leveraging it to expand their career opportunities.

Cons

On the other hand, the company has a very competitive culture which tends to inspire placements that favor lucre over satisfaction. The staffing consultants are, without a doubt, out to beat each other to death in placements. This doesn't favor the job satisfaction of the financial specialists they're trying to place.

Pros

Friendly recruiters and positive environment.

Cons

I do wish the process to locate a new contract after a completed contract was a better process. Overall had a great experience!

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
