Pros

The company takes care of you very well and provides you with literally all the resources you need. No BS, everyone is very straightforward and honest. The pay offered is also on the higher end for Canadian recruitment and staffing companies.

Cons

If you're in sales, you need to have an established book of business before joining Vaco. It's not a company that just hands you accounts, you need to be able to bring in business, independently.
