Pros

Decent rates and stipend packages for Travelers. Recruiters and managers mostly understand that they work for you.

Cons

Completely unorganized compliance process for every single assignment. They make you resend documents you've already sent, make you collect new references every 12 months, they try to pay you only minimum wage for required orientation training. If you need assistance with employer insurance or FMLA you will get more headaches than help. If your site it treating you poorly, including unlawful discrimination, you will get a talking to about professionalism and an offer to cancel your contract. Long story short, go for the money and get out. No matter how many emojis the recuriters use, no one there has your back!

Pros

Strong earning potential during peak market years, especially for high performers. I built valuable recruiting and leadership experience here and worked with many talented, hardworking people. Fast-paced environment that can teach resilience, urgency, and high-volume recruiting skills very quickly. Good benefits.

Cons

The company culture shifted significantly over time, especially post-COVID. What once felt collaborative and growth-oriented became increasingly metrics-driven and heavily micromanaged. Leadership support and career development felt inconsistent, particularly for middle management. Despite strong performance and taking on significant leadership responsibilities, upward mobility became extremely limited. There was (and continues to be) a noticeable disconnect between executive expectations and the day-to-day realities of the recruiting teams after the market normalized. Many experienced employees appeared burned out, anxious, or constantly under pressure to hit moving targets. Work-life balance became harder to maintain, and the environment often felt reactive instead of strategic. Unlimited PTO that I was always too afraid to use from fear of falling behind and limited coverage availability.
