Pros

- Modern office - Free, covered parking - Cafeteria - Global organization, looks nice on your resume - Many talented, helpful people work there at all levels of the organization - CEO seems nice

Cons

There are some very cut throat people working there - and these people are in key leadership roles. Some are nice to your face, but devastate your career behind your back. They make snap decisions about your worth, and will throw you out the second it suits them. If you choose to work there, figure out who those people are and beware.

Pros

Great people at lower levels. Free parking, nice cafeteria. I loved my job here but, I got a great raise by leaving and taking my knowledge with me.

Cons

The outsourcing trend is killing morale. More than 400 people were let go so far this year and there are more to come. Once a bustling high energy place, you can now walk through what remains of certain departments and not see anyone. Outsourcing architected by Darryl Green and Ram whatshisface in Singapore, both former employees of TCS, where the jobs are moving too. I should also mention TCS is a competitor of Manpower. Does that make any sense? Conflicts of interest seem prevalent, and yet the board does nothing. Systems are outdated, people unmotivated, management is out of touch and incompetent in several cases. Who you know and how well you pucker up determines your status.

Pros

HQ atmosphere is pleasant and corporate amenities are good.

Cons

The violations of the ethics policies at the top of the organization are astounding. Even after incidents are reported through the proper HR channels, by numerous employees, HR turns their collective head. Examples include: fraudulent business trips, falsified expenses, retaliation, blatant disrespect for corporate and IRS regulations on things like the relocation policy. The more people I speak with about ManpowerGroup the more I realize that this is common at the top level of the global sales organization. Disgraceful for a company that prides itself on it's ethics.
