"It's not for everyone"

Pros

- Good networking opportunities - Appreciate your old job a lot more

Cons

- Technology issues - Corporate unresponsive to Branch needs - Unrealistic expectations for job performance - Feel very "replaceable" - been told there are plenty of people who would take my job for less money - Candidates who just don't get it: We are not a placement agency! It's not my job to find you a job, it's my job to fill orders.

Future outlook seems questionable.

Pros

Vacation and benefits are good. Good for a person just out of college or looking to change their career path.

Cons

80's Management. Employees do not have a voice. Manpower does not empower Middle Management. The philosophy is if you are a good employee you will be a good Manager which is completely different skill set. It is not uncommon for Managers to repeatedly fail to provide a performance review to their staff. The review process is completely subjective no shared goals or objectives across departments. Upper Management is not in touch with the employees and with the retirement of Linda Pelej it is very much a boys club. No reward for being innovative or creative. Very territorial atmosphere and with the continued layoffs the environment has become oppressive.

Pros

The headquarters building in downtown Milwaukee is a nice place to work. Great camaraderie with co-workers...until they started being laid off.

Cons

A company starting to spiral...mass layoffs over the last year, particularly in IT (most IT work now in the process of being offshored). Management incapable of articulating its vision. Purchase of COMSYS a mess...systems still not integrated almost two years after merger. It was a good place to work several years ago, but it's sadly a mess now.
