Pros

They work hard to get you into a job.

Cons

This company is disreputable. They lied about every aspect of the job in which they placed me: I was told it was senior level, it was junior. I was told I'd be working on one specific kind of project, and it turns out those projects are outsourced and I was assigned to something entirely different. I was told I would make one rate, and on the way into the Modis office to sign the papers they told me I would be getting 30% less. When I arrived the first day, no one at the company where I was placed knew I was coming, my background check wasn't completed, I had no computer, nor phone, no email account, no access to anything (including the buildings). I got the feeling that they were also not that happy to have me there--or they just didn't really care one way or another. Finally, when I was suddenly told my services were no longer needed, Modis accused me of "quitting." When I showed them the emails from my boss saying I was no longer needed, and told them how I'd been told not to come back, Modis accused me of lying. My recruiter called me repeatedly, left increasingly angry voice messages, and sent me harassing emails, even after I explicitly told him and his manager to stop contacting me. This is not a place you want to work.

Pros

As a former contractor working for them, I have no reason to recommend working for MODIS.

Cons

Their margins are high; for the position I was contracted out for it was almost 80%. They will promise you increases in wages and then not deliver. They messed up my Federal Tax withholding resulting in an extended period of time of my having to play "catch up". Toward the end of my contract, I found out that MODIS had reimbursed the client part of MODIS' fees while I had paid for a year's living expenses (in the client city where I was working) out of my own pocket. Also, when I advised my recruiter that I was not being paid my earned and due overtime because the time-reporting system at the client site was locked down at 40 hours per week in violation of Federal Wage & Hour Rules, MODIS did nothing.
