Great place to learn the industry but not a long term place to work

Pros

Strong corporate support (the are franchised) Strong national Presence and name recognition Corporate culture is excellent - not necessarily with the local franchises

Cons

Franchise owned, so each office will be as good as it's ran by the local franchise owner. Has the potential and corporate support to be outstanding but unfortunately, some locations/franchises fall quit short of their potential. Does not allow the "salaried" recruiters to take lunches. Requires employees to use PTO for doctor visits though the average team member is a salried employee and works well beyond 9 hours on daily basis. Does not offer medical benefits. Time off package is NOT competitive within the industry.

If you can live working less than 4 days/month for under $13/ hour then this is your temp agency.

Pros

The staff of the Seattle & Shoreline office were very friendly, however the Kirkland rep was snotty when I told her I couldn't afford to commute to a four hour job while paying to drive across the 520 bridge.

Cons

Never placed me in my field of expertise. There's not enough work, and when there was work it was very short term 2-4 days.
