Pros
I only have amazing things to say about her. I would even take a job with her that has a lower rate vs somewhere else because she is so caring and friendly. Agency wise, I had benefits day one, 600 travel allowance paid first check, PTO accrual every week I have used after finishing assignment and daily pay.
Cons
Not the highest rates out there, but the quality of the recruiter makes up for it. Only other con would be sometimes they don't have locations I see other agencies listing.
