Pros

Decent benefits package with fair starting pay wages.

Cons

Long hours, very little work life balance. The senior management team will find anyway to take away mid level managers and account managers bonus's to ensure their own bonus can be achieved. This company will make cuts when branches are very busy and need the man power, to save money. This causes the other employees to work very long hours. Employees will be expected to work long hours with no additional compensation. I do not recommend working for Staffmark with out doing a lot of research. These reviews get posted on Glassdoor and then the management emails out the negative reviews to management team asking for details on who wrote the review to try and intimidate team to not write anything negative.

Pros

There are strong individual contributors across the organization who genuinely care about their clients and candidates. The business itself has market opportunity, especially in industrial staffing, and there is potential to build something meaningful with the right strategy and execution.

Cons

Leadership lacks alignment between stated goals and actual execution. There is a clear disconnect between the vision communicated during hiring and the day-to-day expectations in role. In some instances, employees are placed in situations where they are asked to engage in practices that raise ethical and, at times, legal concerns. This creates an uncomfortable and high-risk working environment, particularly for those who prioritize compliance and professional integrity. Despite discussions around evolving the business toward higher-margin, relationship-driven growth, the operating model continues to default back to transactional “fill and bill” activity. Efforts to introduce more strategic structure, improve efficiency, and modernize workflows are often dismissed or labeled as unnecessary. There is also inconsistency in how policies and code of conduct are applied, which creates a perception of unfair and selective enforcement. This impacts trust, morale, and overall team performance. Additionally, there is an over-reliance on outdated sales approaches that do not reflect how modern workforce solutions are built or sustained in today’s market.
