Pros

Good salary, great staff, nice benefits, paid hourly. Offers bonus opportunity and awards ceremony for great staff. I have enjoyed working with Kelly Services

Cons

No upward mobility, few training opportunities, 5 year contracts. It would be great to be able to have some sort of career advancement opportunities but that is the nature of contract work.

Pros

You can make a decent living while working from home and overtime is frequently offered.

Cons

They will fire you even if you are a top performer and state that it is based on "business needs". No warnings or writes up necessary. You are sent to a BlackBoard room for "tech issues" and told you have been terminated.
