      Why work where you are not valued?

      Pros

      Big company with a name known world-wide. Great systems and sister companies to partner with.

      Cons

      Management and Executives in the IT staffing division (Managing Directors, Regional Directors, Regional VP's and Division President) are just not very good people managers. Nice guys personally. They talk a good game but evidently they have no real understanding of their business because when your producer's leave so does some of your business. The staffing business runs on the producer's relationships with their candidates, consultants and clients. When you make life unbearable for the producer's (sales people and recruiters) they leave. No matter how well management scrambles to try and save the business, some of the business will follow those that leave.

      Pros

      Partners with Google, participation in historic digitization project, option to continue temp employment in damaged economic climate at the close of the project

      Cons

      No health insurance, sweat-shop like standards, workplace climate of bullying and intimidation, disconnect between corporate aspirations of power-holding c-suite wannabes and the working conditions of the average plebeian, irregularly enforced policies of tolerance, high school factory floor politics, termination of position after two years no matter the quality of performance

      Pros

      I worked for Spherion in one of the corporate offices prior to their having been bought out by Randstad. The employees were naturally concerned when we were told that our company had been acquired, and the "big wigs" came in and presented all sorts of slideshows and idealistic speeches about how the company was going to get much better. The pros for working with Spherion were wonderful - great pay, benefits, and a genuine desire to see all employees succeed. There was an open-door policy with upper management that made employees feel as though their concerns would be heard and addressed.

      Cons

      All the reassurances and posturing about the grand ideas Randstad had for Spherion were outright untruths. Since the acquisition, things for Spherion have taken a rapid downturn. The transition was a complete mess, with bad communicating, inadequate training on the new systems, and the general feeling that we had been subject to a "hostile takeover." Most of the employees were in fear of losing their jobs, and there was little done to attempt to reassure us. There have always been flaws in the training system, but instead of attempting to fix them, the CEO decided to send in an cold, unpersonable manager to fire anyone she considered to be "underperforming." As a result, many hard-working employees found themselves out of a job, and the company lost several valuable clients.
