      Great divide with back office to sales. Management don't want to pay staff what they are owed.

      Pros

      Nothing I could think of.

      Cons

      - Those consultants who brought in the deals with clients where looked on as gods and everyone else was looked over. - Massive divides in all areas of the business, between back office and consultants, between states, between consultants themselves. - The back office received no acknowledgement or support for the hard hard work that was performed. - The MD isn't a great person by any means. She's not a good influence for the company at all. Gets her friends into management roles who are incompetent. - I've seen the company treat loyal employees like crap. If they need to cut heads, they won't hesitate. They will try not to pay you what you are owed. By far one of the worse places I worked.

      Disorganized, disingenous, distorted and disturbingly deaf and dumb.

      Pros

      Although the position, compensation, hours and opportunities were different from what I had been offered to take the position, it was a paycheck.

      Cons

      The position, compensation, hours, status, etc., I had been offered to take the position were changed before I gave notice to my previous employer, and not communicated to me until my first day with Kelly. There is no work-life balance. The organization is top-heavy with people and groups identifying new ways to make its employees' work easier, however the affected employees are never consulted. The end result is counter to the desired outcome, creating numerous, time-consuming workarounds and stop-gap measures. Support teams designed to consolidate and lighten job functions end up creating more bureaucratic red tape than previously existed. Thoughts and suggestions are requested by management, and (although voiced by employees) they are never "heard" before being quickly subdued by talking points and self-congratulatory or self-promoting banter about how great everything is.
