Pros

You will learn a lot quickly, develop problem-solving skills, and learn to develop your own processes and tools because you won't get the resources, technology, headcount, or training you should have to perform your job. You will be so undervalued it's possible to triple your salary when you leave.

Cons

You will have to learn quickly because it is a sink-or-swim culture that makes everyone "learn the job before they get it". So you won't be compensated appropriately for the work you do. You'll be taken advantage of and promised raises and increases only to discover "the budget doesn't allow for a promotion" even though the work requires you to perform the job of your promised title without the pay. This will happen with every promotion you get and people will tell you "Randstad makes up for it eventually". Meaning, when you get to a high enough position, you will start making adequate money. Understand, that will not happen until after you are an SVP and then you too have the joy of treating people in this same way if you want your region to perform at the same level as your peers.

Pros

Able to use PTO when needed. Work life balance does exist.

Cons

Understaffed, bonuses are shared with entire branch even if you have under performers, Randstad is very concerned with the sizzle (digital interviews, new payroll program) and will forget about people running the business.

Pros

None. I can't think of one thing.

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. I highly encourage anyone not to work here. Zero culture, toxic work environment in the Boston office. Managers are slave drivers. Benefits are probably the worst in the industry. I quite for many reasons. If you elect Cobra after, expect the worse possible "benefit" continuation. Most recently, Randstad has failed to sent patient information to the new insurance carrier. This should have been done weeks ago; as a result of this, thousands of people will not have health insurance for the new year.
