Pros

Ok salary, good co-workers, good client exposure

Cons

Experis is a staffing company trying to repackage staffing as professional services. - No risk management - No program management, the only dashboard managed is a list of consultants assigned to clients with roll off dates and management telling everyone to figure out ways to keep those consultants engaged. This leads to perpetual project extensions, not closed projects adding value. - Terrible benefits getting worse year over year - Poor communication via the management team, people just "disappear" from the staff with no explanations. - No professional development, training is promised but never made available. - No where to advance too. The management has been in place for decades and it's a clique. - Sales focus on what gets the biggest head count not what solution does the client need - recruiting focus on easy and long term not solutions - recruiting strength has dwindled and Experis now depends on sub-vendors - Use cases are written from staffing engagements and co-opted as if it was a solution Experis delivered when in fact all Experis provided were bodies. - All solutions offered by the solutions team are "paper tigers" if you are a vendor, look else where for true solutions. If you just want bodies, go for it.

Pros

Excellent work life balance, pay and work environment. Non judging when you communicate concerns that you are experiencing on the job. Someone is there to listen and help smooth things out for the better. This is very important to me because we all run across situations that can challenge us, such as other co workers, things said and how things are being done.

Cons

Nothing at this time. Keep up the good work.

Pros

You can bill under £20k a year and not get fired as the place is so terrible they simply can't recruit any talent. Sometimes you see a helicopter out of the window.

Cons

-Management knows nothing about recruitment. Quite a disturbing sexual harassment case involving senior members of staff happened in December 2013 and they are still there. -Payroll offers no support and gets upset at the noisy nature of the sales floor. -Sales floor is like walking among tombstones. -0 talent coming in. you'd think a recruitment company would understand what makes a company great and how to, you know, actually recruit. They don't. -Growing a company through acquisitions leads to constant power struggles. -No regular staff events and if there are, they don't pay for drinks or anything. They'll leave you to get a cab home from the middle of nowhere or you could go back with the director... -Have overheard Senior Management making racist jokes in the toilet. -Everything you ask support to do is a chore and "not their job". -Salaries are very low and the commission scheme is broken. You stop earning commission on a contractor after they have done 12 weeks leaving Experis with the lions share of all of your juicy contracts. -You have to work on low return on investment jobs to keep the old boys clubs biscuits in stock. You will work on roles between 15-18k on 6% basis and are expected to hit your target. I guess this is why no one cares. -Freezing cold offices and the cheapest free coffee and tea going. -Open plan like a prison. All of the work force is on one large floor whilst the 'managers' watch from their cosy offices decorated with their private school certificates. -Meeting rooms unavailable last minute as the non billing staff loves to waffle. In a nutshell, don't join. Read this and move on or join and remember, I told you so.
