Pros

-Quick recruitment to first day on the job

Cons

-Reneged on commute stipend: I was promised (on my employment contract) a fixed commute stipend of $xxx. I worked for these amateurs for 2.5 months. The first month, I received my full stipend. The second month, I gave my two week notice and had to fight to get my full commute stipend for the month (it took copying the CEO on my email correspondence). I was then told that I would not receive any more commute stipend as a retaliation for me giving my two week notice to resign. -Over-deduction for health insurance: My health insurance premiums were $xxx per pay period. During my last month (which was only 2 weeks), an open enrollment period occurred and ATR used a loophole in my contract to deduct ~$400 more than required to pay my premiums for the month because of a change in the monthly premiums with an 'addendum page' that I never received under full disclosure. There are many other staffing firms that can easily get you the same jobs of which these crooks recruit. I highly advise to stay away from Arena Technical Resources, far away. they will strongarm you if you decide to leave them.

Pros

The pay was decent .

Cons

Poor communication and very disorganized. This was the worse experience I have encountered since I have been contracting . I was constantly getting paid late. The manager on the project was a complete idiot . Avoid at all cost if you just need to get back to work I understand but proceed with caution keep a back up plan

Pros

Friendly recruiters and staff under the big cheeses are quick to respond to your needs.

Cons

Be careful of the contracts you sign. They will block you from working with other companies and not work with you to find another position within the company that is a better fit for you.
