Pros

easy work, spend your day clicking away

Cons

BENEFITS: WORTHY OF 1975 - no PTO (15 UNPAID days allowed per year), no paid holidays for the first year but still forced to take the day off UNPAID, it messes with people's income, especially during this inflation!!! health insurance cost (with 1 dependent) amounts to one week of pay, absolutely RIDICULOUS seeing how the salary is barely livable as it is, $650/mo for insurance is INSANE. ONBOARDING: an absolute mess, I was given my start date and then absolute silence, EVEN ON THE START DAY. I spent the first week in the dark as to what to do, who to reach out to, I had to proactively contact someone to know my day to day schedule and week schedule. They did not disclose at any point of the hiring process that my employment was at the mercy of passing a TEST after training. DAY to DAY: tracked productivity, clock-in/out system, platforms and device provided feel pretty archaic, okay work. Another surprise is that you never know who your manager is, really hard to know who to reach if you have an issue or an unexpected sick day. Typical old-fashion mindset of expecting high integrity and dedication from employees while providing 0 benefits and low salary. OK as a second job, very manageable.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
