Pros
The only reason I have given it one star is because I have to and one of the staff members was rather helpful when finding me a shift and I appreciate his effort in doing so.
Cons
One thing you should know if you're deciding whether or not to sign up to an agency is that they only care about the clients. Fair enough, they get paid by the clients whereas you are more of a tool for the means. So if you're not up for that then agency work isn't really for you. Unfortunately, the way Chimera acted when deciding not to keep me on their books was highly unprofessional and in my opinion inappropriate. For a company that deals with sales I believe they might want to work on their ability to communicate accurately and fairly with their temp staff. They sent a generic email of reasons to terminate my employment and when I called up to inquire further they back tracked on the content of the email and essentially brought it down to one point that had nothing to do with my ability to actually do the job. If what I did was so heinous then how did they ever manage to find me any other shifts? Essentially it was a quiet time and they needed an excuse to drop people from their books. In the short time I was with Chimera, they failed to record one of my shifts and despite the fact I sent in a time sheet, no one thought to get back to me over the confusion and just didn't pay me until I had to chase them up. I provided them with plenty of availability and was only given six shifts in over a month, three of which were last minute and more often than not I wasn't given a shift at all.
