Pros

Salary on time and nothing else

Cons

The MD used his position to get his reference placed who doesn't know anything about recruitment business. The MD's referral has Hired the sales team as per his choice which is resulting in ruining the brand name of ManpowerGroup. This referral is Hired at leadership position but doesn't know how to represent ManpowerGroup in the market and uplift the brand name. Instead this MD's referral has Hired sales RM's and Vertical Head who doesn't know how to work in a healthy MNC culture and are brooding a toxic culture by shouting on the recruiter or thier junior team members. The sales team is not able to get good clients and under pressure they get any clients who doesn't even have a good name in the market. The Vertical Head doesn't know how to map the skills of the Recruiter but force the Recruiters to work on the useless clients. Eventually it's always the Recruiter who looses their Job.

Pros

Salary... They sometimes ‘forget’ to pay on time, but hey — who cares when you get it, as long as you eventually do, right?

Cons

The agency itself is a disaster. Communication is inconsistent at best, and often nonexistent. When they do reach out, emails are sloppy, unprofessional, and sometimes barely readable—zero punctuation, poor grammar, and no clear structure. It feels like they don’t care enough to even spell-check, let alone treat you like a human being. Once you’re placed, they vanish. If there’s a problem at the workplace, you’re stuck between the agency and the company—neither one wants to take responsibility. Try to contact someone for help, and you’ll either get no reply or a vague, useless answer like “we’re looking into it.” Spoiler: they never are. You’re treated like a number, not a person. They rush you through the onboarding process, expect you to adapt instantly, and show no interest in how things are going unless it’s about filling shifts or timesheets. If you bring up any issue—anything at all—it’s brushed off or ignored. You're clearly replaceable in their eyes, and they don't bother hiding it. The agency can't even send a proper email. Messages look like someone smashed their keyboard in a hurry. No subject line, no greeting, barely a sentence of information. It’s completely unprofessional and shows exactly how little effort or respect they put into communicating with the workers they supposedly “support.” The agency is supposed to be the bridge between workers and the company—but this one is more like a crumbling rope. Terrible communication, no support, no respect, and no professionalism. You’ll get more clarity and kindness from an automated chatbot than from their actual staff.

Cons

Disgusting manager from the White PERM team, double sided face and verbally bullies the employees Talks nicely in front of management and once turn back the ugly side came out He is a mad racist and will discriminate the whole office coworkers if they are not the same skin color as him Micromanages the whole team, which shows that he is a dictator No work ethic or moral is found on him KPI is not achievable as recruiter is given very limited resources to fulfill daily KPI Management does not listen to the employees' voices No work life balance due to unrealistic KPI
