Pros

Relaxed dress code, free bagels/donuts once a month (but you'd better only take one! they're watching you!). Most of your co-workers are nice people. If you live, eat, sleep, and breathe video games, you'll love the culture.

Cons

- This is a staffing agency job, so you may feel like someone's unwanted step-child, and be unsure of who exactly is your boss. - Training documentation is outdated or non-existent, and the people training you may have just been hired a few weeks earlier themselves. - You're graded on how fast you can resolve customer issues (i.e. how many contacts you have with customers via email, chat, phone/per hour). I hope you can type fast and already know all the answers to the questions that you will be getting from customers! - You may end up with a computer that is too old/underpowered to run the programs that you must use to do your job, which slows you down.

Pros

- Excellent for getting your foot in the door in the video game industry - Very casual dress code. Some people arrive at their assignments in pajamas (depending on the assignment) - Friendly contacts

Cons

- Highly unstable employment. It's a staffing agency, so all the work is temporary. - Very little work-centered communication between the contract sites and Wired Talent. - Do not expect solid training. If you can't pick things up by "doing" (and making very few mistakes) then this is not the place for you. - Rarely is there information on upcoming work - Website job listings are not correctly updated. Occasionally a job posted will have been filled 5 months prior, but still listed as "open". - Difficult to get hard copies of paperwork, such as W2s and old paystubs. They usually send them digital (via email) - You are treated like an expendable asset, and you are not set up for success in the contract company.
