Pros

If you are DESPERATELY looking for a job, then Exact may be beneficial as a temp agency.

Cons

Anyone would agree this is the worst company they have ever worked for. Highest turnover rate I've ever heard of. Long story short, you will arrive and park in a very expensive garage at your own cost or find street parking, then will be interviewed by a recruiter in a small room of other recruiters also interviewing (super unprofessional) just to be made fun of as soon as you walk out the door. If you are looking to work in-house, they will lead you to believe you are permanent employee who will be qualified for benefits after a probationary period of usually 90 days (or whatever number they feel like). Biggest lie ever. You are a temp who will not be eligible for the expensive benefits, PTO accrual (6 hours a month), and a parking pass (again find street parking) until they feel like making you permanent. Also prepare for a low balled hourly salary, no 401k, promotions, bonuses nor raises, no days off except Xmas DAY, Thanksgiving DAY, and New Years DAY. Very unethical structure as HR and Payroll are managed by the same person. OH not to mention they don't even have water. You literally must go to the store/deli or bring your own. Please, don't trust the good comments left on here. They are from the salespersons whose job it is to sell the company. The company is a joke!

Pros

Offers a lot of work place exposure.

Cons

-An extremely unhealthy work environment. -Majority of the "in-house" employees are considered Temps (meaning you don't get the company benefits, vacation, only the state required sick time, very low pay) -You have to FIGHT to get Karenjo to hire you on Full-Time -If you aren't a "Key" client you will not get your orders filled right away. -CEO will keep people on Payroll just because they are making the company money. She doesn't care about their attitude or how they treat other co-workers, she just cares about the money they are making her. -All software used if outdated -If your computer is broken and there is no chance of fixing it, Good luck on getting a replacement.

Pros

Decent company for getting a temp job.

Cons

HORRIBLE management. Medical benefits are expensive and horrible plans. They only contribute a very small amount. Every employee (corporate and internal) are temp to perm. (DONT BELIEVE ME, ASK UPFRONT WHEN YOU WILL GET A CONTRACT). So don't plan on becoming perm (meaning PTO accrual, benefits, etc.) until you pester enough & they feel like it. Average is 6 months. No perks (401k contribution, holiday parties, bonuses, etc). They are notorious for not giving raises. They will talk trash about employees and candidates with everyone in the room. By far the most unethical company I've ever worked for. This is coming from a formerly loved employee. So take my word and run far away.
