I knew a nurse who worked for them, she was happy with them. Their pay rates were below what other agencies were paying for elsewhere in Canada, though, but that might have changed, as that was a few years ago. If you are interested in other parts of Canada, you could likely make more elsewhere.
I've had friends who have worked for both agencies. No issues. The pay is not great at any agency.
When you analyze the pay (45-50) per hour, many nurses make this wage with shift differentials. Sure, you get per diems for agency work, but no benefits. Also, many of the contracts are at facilities where they can't attract or retain staff. All those variables should be considered.
However, if you enjoy travel and you desire the experience, go for it. Some people really enjoy travel nursing. My friend worked for Select for 4 years.
