Pros

There would be many Pros if this were 10 years ago, unfortunately at this point the only pro is that you would have a job with benefits. I will say that during my 9 years with the company, I always dealt with very nice people even from the corporate office in Wisconsin.

Cons

The company used to be about people, but that went by the wayside starting around 2012. Senior leadership is entirely ineffective, and too weak to make tough decisions. Senior leaders have never held anyone accountable for results. There are many great ideas and projects that start at ManpowerGroup, but due to terrible leadership, there is no commitment and poor execution. At one point, we were told the company would not shrink in order to achieve greatness. At this point, the company will cut right to the bone and throw the work to the employees in the field offices.

A very large company, so communication is key. Not much cons though
