Pros

Experis or Manpower, had a great onboarding experience. They take your info accurately, they pay quickly.

Cons

I was told I was brought on as full time for a position that was supposed to be 120 days with multiple renewable contracts. We were a sub to another major corporation. Miscommunication somewhere they hired me in the middle of the contract and the end customer did not renew with manpower. COVID budget issues.

Pros

Get to know multiple business in your area and make a lot of great connections. Get to hire some great people and help them.

Cons

Deal with very rude people. Payroll department is awful. Always messing peoples paychecks up. The associates are then angry and come in screaming at you. Also if you have another recruiter who is shady, can make your life awful.

Low pay/very little for room growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Some employees are allowed to work from home. Health benefits (but expensive), PTO, and tuition reimbursement (very low).

Cons

Contract employees make very little money. It is rare if they become staff employees. ManpowerGroup's standards for achievement are different for their white employees and their employees of color. ManpowerGroup is fond of promoting white people. Sometimes the managers will promote minorities, but usually because the company needs a few tokens to cover up their prejudices. This is not a good place to work. Do not waste your time. There are better staffing companies that pay better and don't promote out of favoritism.
