I still drive by my old office and feel sorry for myself for when I worked there...years later. - Staffing Consultant Randstad US Employee Review

Pros

Its a great stepping stone into figuring out exactly what not to look for in future positions.

Cons

Honestly, it's tough to figure out where to start. Get ready to work until 6-7 pm, not just when you're busy - everyday. Prepare yourself for "POWER TUESDAYS" where you don't look at any of the notes from previous conversations with prospects and you can't put the phone down either, ALL day. Cutthroat co-workers who will smile when they see you and knowingly steal customers in your territory. It's hard to blame them with the pressure mgmt. puts on them. The amount of micromanaging at Randstad will blow your mind and haunt your dreams long after you leave. Get ready for a "point system" that tracks everything you do, every minute of every day. Hope you have a strong stomach because you will be in constant fear of losing your job.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
