Pros
There is a significant amount of work to be done during certain times of the year, a high opportunity for overtime in the temporary worker capacity.
Cons
The company has a hard time holding on to temporary workers, and doesn't seem to value the individual beyond how many files they can move. It's understandable that some temps will leave, but a large percentage of temps leave without warning and there is no explanation given. I found myself overworked on an extensive schedule.
Many times I worked from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM (with overtime), but management would tell me I could leave soon, only to turn around fifteen minutes later and change their minds when new files came in. There was a lack of awareness, including times when I was carrying 150% of my workload, and they reprimanded me before later going back and determining that the caseload was being misdistributed. I was between jobs in my legal career, and was asked if I wanted to stay on after my temporary employment.
At the end of the temporary employment, they suggested I could have a management position there after several years of work. Why would I want to climb a corporate ladder there when they knew I had my J.D. and was looking for a more substantial position? Did they see my value, or did they not simply understand?
