Pros

the pay is good if you are at the top of your game.

Cons

The benefits are atrocious racked up 10000 in medical bills in 6 months and that is just what the insurance did not pay. The last company I worked for the insurance paied all but 200 dollars of 100000 dollars racked up for a 12 day stay in the ICU at children's hospital and this has been no where near that.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
