Pros

They can get you into industry jobs

Cons

As much as they can get you in, they can make you and I mean make you do any role even if you wanted to. Couple years ago, there was a role as the assistant to the assistant of the CEO at a bank, a timid female graduate was strong armed into taking that role. The sales staff known as “account managers” and their seniors all look down on the graduates, people are sent to places that they plead to not go to which falls on deaf ears. Consultants are lied to about roles and the locations just to get the sale. Consultants are seen as a product and dehumanised with an emphasis on if you speak up can mean that you are ‘difficult’ and essentially no account manager wants to put you forward for roles. Even account managers are treated poorly by senior managers. No Diversity at CXO level. New personnel required at CXO level to ensure people are treated better and better educated

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
