Pros

You would get interviewed. You would get a finance/accounting job if you're desperate/inexperienced. Several locations. You could apply for jobs through their website.

Cons

You get treated like "inventory". The staffing managers do not care about your growth/success/well being, they only care about getting/securing their commissions, using intimidation at times. They take advantage of first-time/inexperienced job seekers who do not know all their in/out employment/civil rights. You'd not get the option to review their employment contract with an attorney before signing/engaging. You get paid a fraction of what they collect on you as a temp/temp-to-hire. They're not transparent about exactly what you'd be doing/what position you'd eventually get when working for their clients. Low pay. Lack of constructive training/orientation/mediocre testing. No returned e-mails/phone calls from staffing managers. Overall misleading/predatory/shady practices.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
