Pros

Training in various areas is complete and provided often for employees within the Staffmark offices. The trainers are quite experienced and will gladly provide additional assistance when requested. Technological improvements have helped streamline operations to help lighten the load of recruiters and operations personnel. Clients love the Staffmark firm do to our ability to satisfy their personnel requests.

Cons

- Very little pay for the managers and recruiters. - Staffmark does not provide enough staff per office. Employees feel overwhelmed and underappreciated - Expectations are extremely high with little reward. For example, you can bring in multiple new accounts and revenue as a recruiter and fill temp to perm requisitions, but are NEVER be compensated for these efforts. The commission structure is not as competitive with other agencies. - Incentives are laughable. If you win a contest, mere $5 gift cards serve as a reward. -Morale is low because everyone is so overworked. Upper management does not care about work/life balance. When away from the office, (vacation, medical leave, sick day, me time) you will receive calls from management that can wait upon return to the office. -Some individuals within upper management make poor decisions, but are quick to shift blame to others when that poor decision affects revenue growth and/or operations. - Ethics are questionable -Company is slow to promote minorities.

Pros

Same day pay for shift completion as a temp Insurance benefits are offered Non-strenuous work schedule work three days off four days except for during peak season. You’re still off three days..

Cons

Cons are not really a big thing to worry about from my experience so far it’s only mechanical cons, not people cons, which can be fixable in most cases.
