Pros

It is easy to become employed through a temporary agency. When you are hired it is a good environment and the payscale is about average. The people are very nice and there are a lot of positions to be considered for. The cafeteria has good food and there are several places to eat alone. The security is great and safety is not going to be a problem there. The parking lot seems to be secure and I have not seen any car theft. The restrooms are cleaned frequently and the toiletries are always well-stocked. They have free tea and coffee.

Cons

It takes a long time to become a permanent employee. I have seen people work a year or more as a contractor before being offered a permanent position. There are too many contractors that come and go. Training is not thorough and it takes forever to get started working on your assignment. In the meantime you feel as if they don't need you there and keep waiting for work to be given to you to fill the days. I would not recommend that someone go to work as a contractor for them if they are driven to work hard. I

Pros

Good work environment - bright colleagues. Most of the associates are hired from good schools and come in with great energy and excitement. The work itself is moderately interesting.

Cons

Poor leadership - focused on self preservation in shrinking environment. Work is becoming much more routine with focus on comliance and approvals so shades of bureacuracy creeping in. Slowly clawing away on benefits and salary packages over time. A few fast trackers grow fast but for the rest it can be a slow growth environment
