Kelly reviews

I was a help desk analyst at Kelly Services in Troy. There was only 6 positions open but they hired 8 people. The plan was that those that worked well enough would make it so 2 people out of the 8 hired are destined to be fired. Who runs a company like that? Why was there only 6 open spots open but you hire 8 people? You only get a total of 20 minutes for break time. Most other companies give you 30 minutes in an 8 hour shift. You dont always get a lunch break either. You get 3 days of training on the help desk and then are put on the phones. That is nowhere near long enough. Their ticketing system and knowledge base left a lot to be desired. Plus there was little information on who the subject matter experts where when you had a problem that was not in the knowledge base. Plus this company was touting the fact that they got an award from the Detroit free press as one of the best places to work. Who did Kelly Services pay off and how much to get that award? One of the worst work experiences I have ever had. Terrible

The work culture is absolutely abysmal. 95% of the work is dealing with fake problems from employees who lie so they don't have to work. Company systems constantly stop working so the queue of issues is essentially endless. You are not allowed to be honest with yourself or the employees you assist. You are expected to accept their lies and play along all while somehow expected to simultaneously resolve their "issues." Save yourself the headaches and frustration, steer clear.
