Pros
With the possible exception of Aquent, better at finding interesting long term gigs than other staffing agencies.
Cons
For the money they extract (in the neighborhood of 35 to 45 percent), barely anything is offered in the way of service to the people they place. You're pretty much on your own. You, as talent can easily send anywhere from 70 to 100k their way but what you get for that is taken to lunch every 18 months (maybe) and a 50 dollar gift around Christmas. No check-in calls, no visits to see how you're getting on. There is no sense of obligation to you beyond being sure that you have your timesheet in.
