Pros

I dont have anything positive to say

Cons

be aware that once they let you go your health insurance ends that day. They dont even give you until the end of the month and they dont notify you of that until about a week later. They have clauses in there contracts with the clients that they do not disclose to the associates in any of the on boarding paperwork or interview process very unorganized constantly messing up payroll even for salary. I had to have my pay fixed 14 times while I was there
