Terrible experience

Pros

I would never suggest working for Randstad, working for them was an overall terrible experience. I wasted my time filling out a form stating what hours I was available and the lowest pay rate I would accept as well as how much I would like to make. I also expected them to protect my interest not just the interest of their client since obviously temporary employees are disposable.

Cons

I was sent on an assignment that ultimately paid less than I said I would work for. The hours were not what I was originally told and there was madatory overtime on days that I could not work. I was not provided with appropriate working conditions by the client, ie working off of the edge of someone elses desk. To top it off I wasn't paid all the monies owed to me on my last check.

Pros

I get a weekly paycheck. Most of the Randstad employees are friendly. If I thought REALLY hard, I could think of more pros.

Cons

I have been on a single assignment for many months, and no one at Randstad calls or emails me just to see how things are going with the assignment. Also, an email was received recently stating that there has been a change in policy. Starting with Memorial Day, 2013, I will no longer receive holiday pay. In the months I have worked for them, I don't believe they paid me for holidays on a consistent basis. I was always short pay for holiday weeks. I would like to leave Randstad in the NEAR future, however, I am not able to do so until I am more financially stable.
