Pros

Good sell on the front end, claim to be a consulting company, claim not to be staffing... They are a staffing company point blank.

Cons

Place people in the wrong positions. Set people up for failure. Management is weak. Drinks on the job and the owner punches walls when he's mad. Do not train employees in compliance, HR issue management, disability management, sexual harassment, etc. the Mason office is a train wreck. People walking around in flip flops, bare foot, going out for breakfast, lunch, nothing gets done. Billable staff should be concerned if they are counting on the internal staff to place them in their next gig. They rely on VMS business, can't get a SOW contract signed to save their life because they are too busy goofing off making sexually explicit jokes in the office. Management has the owner fooled...
