Really like the job I'm doing now - but will be looking for something with better pay and benefits

Advice to Senior Management

You really need to be competitive - this my first experience with Volt and will probably be my last. You've obviously been doing something right to be in business this long - but at whos expense? It would be nice if you showed the same respect for your contract employees as other agencies have managed to do.

Okay paycheck
Fill in job gaps
Get more hours in seasonal peak time

Poor hourly rate
Agency takes a cut out of your check

Hours sometimes be less

Pros

Volt is a good place to work if you don't like micromanagement. They trust that you are a professional who will do what is expected. Provides good training tools and knowledge sharing.
