Pros

Very flexible schedule and they're also quite desperate to fill slots so you're almost guaranteed a job. The pay is decent. Everyone is likeable at the office.

Cons

Management Lies. They promise you one thing during the interview and then manufacture reason to not keep their promise. They don't care how their guards feel, its whatever the client wants, the client gets.
