Pros

I first worked as a contractor through VHA in a technical role. Later, I decided to make a career change and shift into recruiting. As a contractor: -VHA offers health insurance to contractors from day 1 and 401k after a year -VHA throws a christmas party for their contractors since many don't get to participate in one at their place of work -Some of the best people in IT recruitment work here As an employee: -Fun work atmosphere -Great mentorship -Hard work is rewarded -Ideas are listened to -Opportunities abound

Cons

I've worked here for a year and while every job has it's down sides, nothing really worth mentioning here. I've had many jobs in the past 25 years and this is one of my favorites!

Pros

Hands off management, only met with them about once per year in total, regular pay

Cons

I never understood the value they brought to the table besides initially connecting me to a job. Never tackled any of the issues that I had while on the job. When they failed to get a me a raise they were not happy that I had found another job and were quite rude. For a company to take nearly 50% of the pay-rate I have higher expectations. I had the most minimal of benefits, no time off, no sick leave, quite poor overall.
