Pros

Befriending my co-workers allowed me to survive this company's unpleasant work environment.

Cons

I find the leadership to be too controlling and sometimes even manipulative. The managers tell us that they want is to work independently, yet they also keep on micromanaging us and everything we do. Some people in the management are control freak, and it's pretty obvious given how they try to take part in everything the employees do.

Pros

I've worked with similar companies before, so I can appreciate the difference. Communication here is much better, and assignments don't change constantly without warning. Recruiters usually check in after placement and try to be as helpful as possible. The benefits and pay rates also compare favorably to what's offered locally.

Cons

Compensation varies by contractor and project.

• Reasonable deadlines • My manager is there to guide and support when necessary. • Always feels great to match people with the right job for them • Pleasant work environment where many lasting friendships have been made • Lots of restaurants around the office • Company events (even personal milestones are celebrated)

Cons

No. This was my first job straight out of college, and I’m still here.
