Pros

The pros for working at Kelly Services is very straight foward simple; its a well known company and its a popular brand name in the work industry just like pepsi, walmart etc....

Cons

Having more then 6 years experience in customer service (Bilingual) and 3 years in oil and gas experience on the field, the main objective for contacting Kelly was to get an entry level position in oil and gas in the city of calgary. For now over a year i have been contacting the company for the exact same position that keeps coming up on their website with no success when i have all the requirements needed under my belt. Everytime i talk to this certain representative in charge of the position, its always a story after another. I've been to other agencies and when asked if i applied with any other agencies and when i mention Kelly services, they suggest that i should go anywhere else but Kelly. If you are really wanting to get a fast and recruiter to contact you from apllying there, then i would suggest you look elsewhere then this company.

Pros

Working as an At Home Advisor for Apple Technical Support. The training is very thorough and very intensive. Lots of support once in the job and taking calls. Always someone to look to for advice or support.

Cons

Because the position is not directly with Apple, the pay is quite a bit less. There are also no benefits - only an option to purchase insurance etc at some discount. Again, something you do without because you're not employed directly by the client company.

Pros

Weeklyl paycheck. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Extremely low pay. Not even in the ball park for similar jobs. No benefits, no vacation, no sick days, no personal time. No communication. Sad that Kelly Services and the company that I work for through them are both multibillion dollar companies, and pay so poorly. At least where I work.
