Pros

None unless you enjoy being abused and overworked . And are willing to put up with antiquated social rules and bigotry.

Cons

Everything to hate is available to all. Bigots, disorganization, insufficient supplies, wasting money, poor management , no training, no support, no clue about illegal work practices. Horrible management that constantly changed rules and told me I had to work overtime because the other employee in that position was married with a child. Manager openly expressed his dislike for African Americans and had no people skills. Overall, terribly organized and I was told by more than one group leader that I shouldn't worry about saving money because they just billed the client company. Use any of the other companies but avoid ppd like the plague!

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
