Pros

There are none! You even have to wait a month before being paid!!!! (The whole point in Contracting through a agent is to be paid weekly!)

Cons

Not enough space to write! Underhanded, rip off, liers, thieving... You will be ripped off with your rates both yourself and the customer. Like all agents they do nothing for there money. When I questioned on the such big cut they took, I was talked down to that I shouldn't be asking these questions and I shouldn't be so greedy and they have a lot of things to pay for, like the company cars! (A Porsche was one of them!) They had screwed me and the customer and I went to talk, I told them that they had not represented me and I was sacking them and they threatened me with court told them to go ahead. The customer who's management I got on with very well wanted to take me on direct and they then threatened them if they did they would sue even though they had been found out how little of the rate they where paying to the contractors and why a lot of them were so disgruntled! One positive they lost the contract to supply contractors there! They arnt known as aggressive progressive for nothing! Please please take heed and stay away!

Pros

Wfh Fridays and good benefits but that’s it

Cons

Be aware. Unless you’re living with your parents do not work here. Managers are snakes and will still deals from you. It’s impossible to get ahead here due to people stealing your deals or having people come off your book before you get to the 5k mark. The competition here is ridiculous. Very few other staffing agencies work like this. Please go somewhere else if you pay your own bills and are trying to make it independently like myself. They will lie to you and tell you you will get ahead within a year. False, maybe 5 years.
