Re: FASTSTAFF, RNNetwork, and CrossCountry Travelers help me!
Been with Cross Country for 2+ years, the same recruiter for 2 years solid, and I've had an excellent experience. Good pay, decent benefits, housing is the one wildcard. Sometimes, it's fantastic, other times is meh. Any and all complaints I've had have been corrected quickly, there has been ZERO issue with my pay, and they've thrown me a few nice bennies over the years.
Salary is more negotiable than people realize, as well as any housing stipend. CCTC does a hourly salary, plus a monthly housing stipend (eg: $30 per hour and $1200 per month housing stipend) rather than a blended rate that other agencies use (eg: $37.75 blended rate is the same salary as the above example of salary + housing stipend).
To echo the others on this thread,
get it in writing!! That's why it's called a contract.
Good luck,
