Pros

Work from home is available.

Cons

This company blatantly bases all decisions on hiring and promoting, as well as maintaining employees, based solely on race, gender, and sexual orientation. If you are not part of the demographic they want, do not expect to be promoted. If you complain, expect them to terminate you by falsifying their documentation to make you look bad. Never work for them.

Kelly Layoffs Without Notice

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Worked during pandemic, even though they took 10% of pay during the course of the year.

Cons

Released workers without notice. It's hard to feel a part of Kelly sometimes. They change operations often with little notice and it seems to make a mess of things. Many processes and procedures are behind industry standards.

Pros

I work from home that's the only good thing.

Cons

They Micromanage you so much that you cry everyday. Vacation and sick time is really bad. Not enough sick time and they mentally destroy you.
