Pros

The on-line training is helpful.

Cons

The reason that you should not believe them when they say temp-to-hire, is on their contract with the employer it has a fee if the employer hires you, unlike most temp agencies which usually have a 1,000.00 fee (Kelley Services, etc.), Accountemps fee is 35% of your annual salary. Of course any company would be crazy to pay that fee, so just know when you get an assignment that it is only a long term temp position, because of this demand more money upfront, because once they hire you they will never raise your salary. Also unlike other temp agencies (K-force, etc.), once you are in an assignment, even if you are unhappy, they will not transfer you, you will just stay there until you quit or the assignment ends.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
