Cons
New contractors be wary: Document everything with your recruiter before receiving your onboarding package. Also, document every single interaction you have with them before and during your assignment. You will be asked to sign an overwhelming volume of documents (approximately 37 forms) in a very tight window. Make sure you meticulously review your contract terms, assignment lengths, and arbitration clauses the most critical one being that if anything goes wrong during your assignment, you waive your right to sue them in court. Always ensure you document everything and contact state or federal labor agencies immediately if overwhelming compliance issues occur. I highly recommend running the contract content and text through AI software to catch hidden clauses, and ensure every verbal promise made by a recruiter or supervisor is immediately confirmed by you in writing.
The recruitment process felt incredibly predatory and non-transparent. In my experience, communication completely dropped off and I was met with total silence from agency staff once the assignment was underway. Always document every single interaction, address onboarding pressure immediately in writing, and do not hesitate to involve attorney general and state labor officials if you encounter compliance issues (such as discrimination, sick leave rights or dangerous conditions), especially during the assignment.
