Pros
None at the moment. Very difficult to find pros at a place where you can't trust anyone.
Cons
Where to begin: First of all, this is going to be about 80% sales, 20% recruiting. During your interview process, you will be told that there is potential for making +50% in branch bonuses, but with the current market and things not improving (some of the highest minimum wages in the country and inflation worse than the national average), don't expect to bonus anytime soon. More importantly, do NOT trust your managers or your AVPs (Area Vice Presidents aka district managers). My AVP, the AVP of SoCal, will lie, omit facts, and cast blame on everybody but herself. Multiple people in her district, both in WA and SoCal, have told me about all the shady stuff she has done to keep her job. She's a horrible leader. She has put people on Performance Improvement Plans without going through the proper channels, placed blame on everyone but herself, and constantly tries to gaslight people to protect herself. She placed one worker on a PIP, despite that worker having better metrics than everyone else in her branch, for personal reasons. This AVP makes an effort to find out who gives her bad reviews during the quarterly "anonymous" surveys as well. If you are in WA or SoCal and you apply for Randstad, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. If you're a recruiter, look at staffing agencies where it's only recruiting. If you're into sales, try to get into SaaS or other software/cloud-based tech. Do NOT work for Randstad and more importantly, do NOT work in SoCal. Even her job ad is a lie: "Looking for recruiters in XXX, XXX, and XXX," even though recruiting is now maybe 20%-30% of the job of staffing managers for Randstad OTS.
