Pros

the only pro is your coworkers, if you are lucky enough to work with people you like, but dont get your hopes up. if you all do get along it will be because you all have 1 thing on common: you hate your job

Cons

management - they wouldn't take responsibility for anything if their lives depended on it. They will throw you under the bus, even if what you did was a direct order from them. training- more than likely your job wont be rocket science but don't rely on training because you can definitely fake your way through, and even if you paid attention, you will start working and realize that what you were taught was in the process of being changed while you were being trained on it or, you will learn the person who trained you more than likely trained you wrong. if you work in a position where you can earn commission you might as well forget about it because commission is a team effort and your team will suck, of course because they were also trained wrong. your metrics will be outlandish and unbelievable- you will absolutely be set up to fail and the life expectancy on working at Randstad is like 2 years. work life balance is non existent, they will hold company wide meetings but not use company time because you need to use those hours to work and then make the meeting mandatory. so you will work 8-5, and go to a meeting from 5:30-10 and they will always say - well you're salaried so that's life.

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.
