Vantaggi
1) Great opportunities - both domestic and international - to advance career early on. Perfect for those who are struggling to get on the job ladder. Placed at HSBC UK with 7 weeks of training, 14 months in an getting serious opportunities to work in Canada, Mexico and Australia. 2) Cutting the hassle out of applying for jobs. When I move to another client I have a team of trained sales people fighting to get me a job. Beats endless assessment centres and interviews.
Svantaggi
1) The unpaid training. Nothing is worse when you have left university and need the cash. Competent employees will usually be placed quickly. They wouldn't take you on if they didn't have roles. 2) The great 'unknown'. My first few months at HSBC I was on a month rolling contract. 14 months in and a valuable employee I am still only on a 3 month rolling contract. Hard to plan far ahead.
