Pros

Worked with a wonderful woman that placed me in one of the best roles I've had in my entire career.

Cons

Robert Walters Payroll are a bit dodgy when it comes to slurping from your super. They hold it for 3 months and then make a lump sum deposit, so for 3 months your super is being stolen. Thankfully as a contractor you can simply switch corporations.
