Pros

Working with fellow coworkers, all in the same place, dealing with same issues.

Cons

Management and owners, commission structure, no mobility and only want to encourage managers and owners to make more money. While recruiters and RA’s make nearly nothing.

Pros

VanderHouwen & Associates (VHA) represented me for a contract position for the last two years with Xerox. VHA is a local Portland company that does the very best at making their contractors feel as if they are part of the VHA team. VHA is not just interested in "winning the contract", all the representatives at VHA were very interested in my career goals and checked-in with me often. They didn't forget about me in the field, as many other placement firms do. Many of the other contractors at Xerox often told me how they wished VHA represented them. Benefits and pay are competitive.

Cons

VHA specializes in more technical/engineering placement and for me being a creative marketing professional they don't have a lot of other opportunities.

Pros

This was the first agency and recruiter I worked with that actually cared about my personal career, offered resume advice, and truly showed an investment in me as an individual. She mentioned her goal is to place me with VanderHouwen's clients, however also assisted with leads to direct contact to clients they didn't have. I felt appreciated and will be a loyal VanderHouwen employee for life.

Cons

I can't think of any negative experience, presently working at Nike and the entire team and process made me feel valued.
