      Pros

      If you have desire, ability and willingness to learn and grow, there is no place better to gain valuable business and life skills including but not limited to problem solving, creative thinking, accountability, verbal and written communication, time management, and accountability.

      Cons

      Lean environment. Improve training for corporate support departments (their actions & activities can lead to substantial re-work for field).

      Kelly Services is the best temp agency in Boston

      Pros

      They work hard to match you with a position you will be happy in. The staffing supervisors are very personable and really take to heart your career goals and desired positions. I was always paid much more than people from other staffing agencies with similar responsibilities.

      Cons

      The downsides of Kelly Services are the downsides of every staffing agency. You may be told that a position will last six months and then be let go in a few weeks (because the company decided they didn't need you). Some positions will be called "temp-to-perm" and then not go permanent.

      Pros

      Kelly Services provides and promotes continuing education and growth, and fosters a culture of enjoyable learning and relevant skill development. This isn't not a corporation of ego's, it's filled with experienced and knowledgeable leaders that nurture, share and innovate. This is a brilliant company.

      Cons

      Kelly Services is the 5th largest employment agency in the world. We are globally distributed and can garner massive strength from internal communication systems. Thus the challenge as a BDR is the ability to get 'all' of the relevant information, when approaching an opportunity. Kelly has responded to this by investing in systems that have enabled global communication in ways that I never thought were possible. They impress me every day. This week, Kelly Services even launched an app in the app store.
