Pros

Gives u an opportunity to gain Customer Service experience if u didn't have any in that area. For me it was second nature.. I have been doing customer service for years.

Cons

Once the contract was over ...then that was it. I enjoyed my time there ...somewhat..it wasnt bad...but could have paid more and the rules/regulations were overwhelming ...somewhat. No real room for advancement..just come in and do the work.. and go home..

Pros

Great sales tools, corporate network and associated resources, and training. Neat Randstad-y colors are everywhere - blue, orange, pink - on walls, carpets. promotional materials, reminding one of youthful exuberance.

Cons

Extremely top-heavy management structure. Worst bonus structure in America, where YOUR promised bonus is tied to and saddled by the rest of your (good or bad) workgroup. Turnover is very high across the board and at all organizational levels, due to growing pains, lack of communication from management, and exceedingly unrealistic and rigid performance metrics. Ongoing internal ethics challenges and virulent office politics transcending localility. Management arrogance. Extremely poor work life balance across all positions and levels. Prepare to live 24/7 for Randstad US. Corporate culture is universally so tightly micro-managed, you can only put approved Randstad logo items on "your" (Randstad's) desk. Micro-management is severe, counter-productive, and directly causing turnover. High rates for services are a tough sell.
