Pros

Education benefits, remote work, large group of aquent contractors placed in a same company so there is a feeling of comraderie

Cons

You will be bullied by HR, especially dont bring up the poor onboarding process and there are no opportunities for advancement. You are part of the smoke screen of large corporations that get around employment laws by using contractors. Your pay and benefits will not come nearly as close as your fulltime counterparts at the companies you are placed

Pros

Some nice intelligent educated coworkers

Cons

Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
