Yeh I know best one is the one that pays on time and pays the most :-)
But aside from this, what are your best/worst experiences at client? Heres mine.
Best - Couple of them really.
1. Nice atmosphere.
2 Decent people.
3. No-one really flags up all the time your a contractor.
4. Flexibility and bit of give and take with hours.
Worst- One specific I can think of.
1. Contractors had to sit on separate desk.
2. Anything complex came in - permies took over and refused to tell contractors how it was fixed.
3. Told not allowed to leave site at lunchtime - yeh right.
4. Contractors not allowed to use internet at all.
5. Told to minimise toilet breaks.
6. Told not allowed to eat at desk (but permies could).
7. Permies would write down the time you came in and went so you had to be careful.
8. Worked late till 10pm one night because of issues, then got moaned at because I came in at 10am a week later after doctors appt.
9. If I went to other office for meeting, manager used to appear after meeting end (I'd stay there and hot desk) to check I hadnt gone home (this office was on my way home).
Awful place.
