They have a lot of the local jobs as they deal with most of the good companies in the area.

They don't hesitate to push you into a job you don't want or are not comfortable with just so they can get their commission for placement.
Pros
The rate of pay was fair
Cons
The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. I was very miss informed on the hiring process
Advice to Senior Management
First and most important, inform potential employees of all required paperwork before advising them to give notice on current job.
Pros
They negotiate a decent salary
They don't over work you
They provide some benefits for temporary workers
Cons
Lack of any communication between recruiters
Seems hard to 'bounce back' from getting another job after a previous project even if you did a good job.
Advice to Senior Management
I would like to just advise on one thing, if you do have good workers and had good feedback from managers of projects please keep tabs on those workers and try and get them in other projects. i know things are tough with employment but I was surprised of some of the folks they hire on a first time project, a lady with no technical experience what so ever that couldn't even find the control panel on a Windows XP machine!!!!
Pros
Weekly pay cycle, responsive help desk, reasonable benefits
Cons
market being low cost provider
Pros
Good money if you are good at what you do. Very long hours but good experience.
Cons
You are only as good as your last placement

Pros
This company has top notch tehcnology, giving you the ability to work remotely and not miss a beat. Great co-workers for the most part. Work can be fun at times, Management is fair on family issues and very reasonable about granting needed time off for personal issues. The VP of Strategic Account is amazing, he is alwasys willing to help and knows a lot of poeopla and really did a great job with training on his own time. Great communicator and very effective at his job. He should be the Marketing Director and that office would signifficantly grow in profits.
Cons
This office is ran by a few recruiters. For the most part if they did not want to work on the jobs that they were assigned too, they wouldn't and work on different job orders. Management shows complete favortism and pretty much hands openings to some AM's that do not deserve it. Everything is about what the house can make in this office. Management refuses to give higher training at corporate headquarters because they don't want it to come out of the P&L. The only training you get is a week long computer based training and if your lucky 2 days in Cleveland to meet the Regional VP. Management demands on going to as many meetings as possible with Account Managers, and then takes over the meeting and does not let the Account Manager have any say on the selling points. He often sells points that are false and have no relevance to what the need is. Mangement has no control over the recruiters and gets nothing done for Account Managers. Management in this office sells points on meetings that end up hurting the Account Manager in obtaining the account becuase he is wiling to make promises that he can't back because he can't control the recruitment efforts. He has lonst this office a few accounts already and probably loose more int the future.
Advice to Senior Management
Restructure management in this office. The VP of Stretegic Accounts should be in charge of this office and it would be one of the top performing offices in te country. Until then this office will never reach it's potential. There is a few greats in this office but they won't be able to reach their potential until the management changes.
Pros
Great compensation for the work done, very fair payouts for a sales organization. The ability to be creative in approaching candidates and clients and constructing deals.
Cons
Underqualified management team that pushed the wrong ideas and metrics in order to achieve success. The transactional qualities were valued while follow up and relationship building went by the wayside.
Pros
Payroll process is excellent and in time.
Cons
Should pay reasonable to the performance and skillset
Advice to Senior Management
