Pros
I have a job and I like the company I am on contract with.
Kontras
This company has shady hiring practices. First, the would not provide any info into the benefits before getting hired. No info on insurance, 401k, or anything else. That should have been a red flag, as benefits packages should be used to compare the job to others. After being selected for my role, I was given the contract to sign and review. Right away I noticed the hourly rate was $5.00 lower than was we previously agreed to. I immediately brought this to the attention of the rep with Addison Group. I was told they could resubmit me at the higher rate, but that could potentially get the company to choose someone else instead of me, After being out of work for almost 4 months, I couldn't take that chance. As a consolation prize, the rep told me the role would get overtime which would make up for the lower rate as I would be working some long hours occasionally. The first time I worked over 40 hours, I quickly realized that was not the case. I did get paid for all the hours I worked, but it was not time and a half. After being hired, I asked for the employee benefits guide and was quickly shot down again. The told me the package was proprietary and very comprehensive and I would not be able to view them until I was eligible to get them. Once I was eligible, I did get a copy of the benefits and they are the worst I ever seen,
