Comments: I have mixed feelings about TAD. They have placed me on quite a few nice long term assignments (including one where I went to a contract situation with United Engineers in the same department of the company I was placed at).
However, paychecks have a tendency to come late or not come at all. Despite the million times I have been in their office, I get the "I'm sorry, your name again?" routine.
They tend to forget about you rather quickly -- you have to keep pestering them for work.
