Business outlook
Pros
None. You are contracted to another company to do the same work as those you are working alongside. You are doing that for significantly less pay and worse benefits so that the other company can have the flexibility to cut down their work force. That is Applied's bread and butter.
Cons
- Pay is low, especially for entry level - 1% 401k match if you put in 2% when I last worked here in 2021. There is an ESOP to supplement but in my view it is unlikely to approach a competent employer's 401k match. It was 6 years to fully vest by the way! - If the company Applied is contracting you to decides to cut down their work force, you are the first to go. Applied would then attempt to find you another gig.
