Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. Absolutely none.

Cons

I had this review written up, and my browser decided to crash.. So here I go again. From day one there have been problems. They took a month to compete my background check and I have NOTHING on my record, not even a parking ticket. They took five months to get my REQUIRED name tag, with me reminding them weekly. They either lost it or lost the paperwork etc. I was told they would schedule all my classes for me and never was told about the deadlines I had to take the classes and the test. They scheduled everything just a week before my deadline and I was told they would schedule my test date and they failed to do so. I had to, which is normal but I didn't know that at the time. They also have the employees clock in and out on a device like a cellphone. You log the hours and tasks completed and the client signs it at the end of the day. Not only does my client have to sign the device but she also has to initial the paper time sheets each day and sign them each week. AND I'm constantly having to fill out exception sheets for days and hours that the device messes up. So with three means of logging my hours I am STILL getting paid incorrectly. I've had money that took them a month to get back to me, I have bills you cannot do that to a person working full time expecting money. It's all around a horrible company. These are just a few examples of what has happened to me in the short year I've been here.

Pros

You have guaranteed flexibility because you never have solid work.

Cons

You absolutely cannot depend on this job to pay your bills. You could have a, "job" today aka client and be told they have no work for you the next day. You rarely see or speak with management, you're pretty much out there on your own. They will put you horrible places and pretend they didn't know it was that bad. Not one time was I put anywhere clean or health friendly. It was always smoke and cat ridden. Just because someone says they're okay with it doesn't mean that's the only places you can put them, nor are you ever fully disclosing just how much smoke they're going to have to inhale or cats they're going to have to deal with. They absolutely do not care about you, they just need someone to fill a spot until they're done with you and hire someone else in under 30 seconds.
