They invest in their employees

Pros

The continuous training they provide and the support that accompanies it is one of the main reasons why I love this company. The management is on the same level with you and you can communicate and bounce ideas across the table easily.

Cons

All branches work for a specific region and not all regions' management have the same belief that they need to invest in their employees more in order to retain them.

Employees are a commodity that Kelly exploits while the employees are shafted.

Pros

Kelly has access to jobs with large companies

Cons

Contract work and their new OCG division does not work to in the best interest of the worker and in many cases will not try to get the best rate for a contractor. Kelly also promises raises to the OCG employees but never follows through except with excuses. Payroll has constant problems with paying employees properly.

Pros

They get you to work right away. Carolyn Baldwin is just excellent, as were ALL the staff that found me work!

Cons

Convention work starts at 7 am so need to hit MARTA really early in the dark.
