what do you expect from PC. Steria are also a consultancy rather than an agency so its just a sideline for them.

I reckon the others are all much of a muchness so find contact numbers from clientco and ask them if they do weekly billing....

Jeez. I only say their ok and still you've got to have a dig. Surely you must have something better to do.

Hmm, they are the ones I've heard bad things about from others. 30 day payment terms with 30 days in arrears, poor contracts for IR35 etc.

It is 30 days but they pay ontime. Quick to sort stuff out.
Had worse agencies had better.
