Pros

Other than steady work- I can't think of any. This company is out for profit only and they do not care about employees AT ALL! They use people and when they are done with you they are done. As a temp- they will keep you 18 months and then you are out!

Cons

They use terror tactics with their employees. Everyone lives in constant fear of losing their job. If you are 1 minute late- no matter the circumstance- you are fired and walked off the premises. If you have an opinion or suggestion- you better keep it to yourself because you will be written up and soon after fired.
