Pros

Co-workers are nice, and deserve better.

Cons

No conversations with manager, ever. No feedback, ever. Jobs will dry up for no reason, and a selected few people will get all the jobs, so that they are so overworked they make serious mistakes. When something goes wrong and they get complaints, the manager will send out a 'DO NOT' type email'. The high turnover of staff should make the manager look at the way she treats people, but that will never happen. There is a terrible waste of time and resources as there are so many mistakes made, the documents just go back and forth. Very sloppy work is tolerated from the favored few. Good people leave quickly.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
