                        Pros

                        The team are very nice and there are always job available. You can work whenever you are free or in your own time, no pressure. Some schools allow you to work longterm part time for them still through the agency, and some may even hire you full time for them so you will work for them instead of the agency. Good starting pay, which increases after working with them for a while.

                        Cons

                        Most communication with the schools is via the agency and not directly, but that might not be such a con.

                        Thank you for leaving us a review and feedback. Much appreciated.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
