Pros

Pros? They're just a temp agency, so contact with Vaco is minimal

Cons

Vaco is a $2 billion company. They pay me $16/hour for a full time job in the field that I went to school for and have two degrees in. I was informed they overpaid me on one of my paychecks and expected me to pay them back. The amount was significant for someone like me, who is paid $16/hour and therefore on government assistance because I can't afford to pay my bills otherwise. I explained my situation and asked them multiple times if they'd show some compassion and waive their right to repayment. Vaco is worth $2 billion, after all. Nope. I was told, "Given you have agreed that you were in fact overpaid, we do need to collect the funds back." They didn't acknowledge anything I said regarding how underpaid I am. Vaco prioritizes a law that benefits large corporations, rather than basic human decency. Also, the benefits they offer are too expensive for someone making $16/hour, so I'm on crappy government insurance since I can't afford the benefits Vaco offers.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
