Pros

None for what so ever time i spent.

Cons

Very bad pay masters in the market, while interviewing they will show a rosy picture about the role then later the actual role turns out to be completely different. The middle management is pathetic, i guess Randstad HR team should take a lot of effort in training the managers on people management as most of the managers doesn't have this skill. Incentive policy is very bad, its not paid on time. I have spoiled my time joining this company as no learning was received from Randstad as well as from my immediate manager. People staying in the company from long years need to upskill there knowledge alot as they still believe in orthodox policies.

Pros

All senior managers started as a consultant, they focus on development of their people and promoting from within. This is by far the best managed staffing company out there, structured and detailed leaders work hard to connect teams to the the big picture, the organizations vision and make every individuals contribution matter. Offers a good holistic comp plan when you factor everything in (benefits, share purchase plan, bonus, RRSP matching, tuition reimbursement). The best on boarding of any company in the industry. If you are going to choose the recruitment industry Randstad is the best, period.

Cons

Many other staffing firms have an uncapped commission compensation structure which can offer a higher ceiling in pure monetary comp then what Randstad offers. When you leave you realize that a very small few make the commissions promised. Once you hit management at Randstad you will earn more than at other staffing companies. It balances out but you have to stick to it. They are very large so sometimes it takes time to react to things the field needs BUT they are aware of this and working hard to fix.
