Pros

-Travel (if you don't mind dropping everything at a moments notice). You can get tons of hotel points and frequent flier miles (if you don't mind fronting the cost for them). -Coworkers have a common sense of being screwed so they find comfort in shared misery.

Cons

-Impossible to get timely paid for work without jumping through hoops. -They lure you in with descent pay, then WHAM, force a salary significantly lower than industry standard. Anyone accepting a full time position takes a significant financial hit (I would have lost over 60% of my income). -Management protects and promotes poor performers. You end up cleaning up their mess most of the time. -Administrative staff oblivious and unhelpful. -Most people are completely unqualified for their roles. -Non-compete clause basically prohibits working in the industry for a year (within 50 miles of any office). -Top-heavy organization. -Frequent droughts of work.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
