This was my first job out of college and boy was being one of their contractors a learning experience. I got offered a position for a major national corporation through them. The pay was extremely low, even for a recent grad, for that area but I took the experience with an esteemed company as a trade off. A few months into the job and I realized I was missing weeks of pay at a time. I had to go back and forth with the consulting firm to get this resolved. No benefits were offered whatsoever. So on holidays when I was mandated not to work, I had no pay. This was particularly difficult in the November-December months as I lost nearly an entire paycheck due to holidays.

The company I was working at had a policy that contractors could only be employed in a position for 30 months. I was at 24 months when I took a position with a new company as a direct hire (but was found via a different consulting firm).

The moment I tendered my resignation, AVA Consulting s demeanor changed entirely. The owner became extremely rude and eventually non-responsive. Almost immediately, I began receiving threatening emails from both the owner s email address and the admin s email address demanding money they claim I owe (I don t). Years later, I still receive these threatening emails. I tried to contact the company earlier in the year in case they had been hacked, but was laughed at.

I value my experience with the company I was placed with, but working with AVA Consulting was and continues to be horrific despite no longer being their contractor.
