Pros

Kelly Services is a firm stepping stone to get your foot in the door to be eventually hired by companies such as DOW Chemical (which pays more and has better benefits).

Cons

Kelly Service employees who work as contractors in DOW do not receive the same level of respect from DOW employees they work with. This is not exactly a Kelly issue as it is an attitude of superiority from DOW employees. Another downside would be that sometimes it may take months to years to get in a position at Kelly Services (especially if you are entry level).
