Pros

Enjoyed my assignment. I had to go through Randstad since the company I was going to do a temp assignment works through them. The signing on process was efficient and signing up for benefits was an easy process.

Cons

Once my assignment was coming to an end no one reached out to me after trying to locate a human being to speak to. My contact who onboarded me had left the company which left me with a hunt to find someone to speak with about another assignment. I contacted 3 different individuals and never heard back. I think it is a very disjointed organization since I was given 3 locations and not hearing back does not make someone feel like a valued employee.

Pros

its a paycheck, that's about it.

Cons

Since Randstad's acquisition of Technisource, the company has gone from a large corporation with a "home grown" feel, to a chop shop. There is a ton of internal competition; everyone plays pretty dirty for the most part, not many opportunities for growth even after you've proven yourself, the commission structure sounds great but it really isn't, base salaries are extremely low for how in-demand recruiters are right now, and management hasn't a clue how to train newcomers properly, they just run amock calling your candidates and submitting blindly. There are deep rifts between the recruiters and sales and management does little to motivate. Very negative attitudes.

Pros

Not many, the salary was great until they decided to cut everyone by 30%. So much turnover, you never knew who you were going to be reporting too next. Management lacked vision, and creativity.

Cons

Backbiting, Petty, and Ridiculous are great words to describe my experience at this company. No one ever gave you the space to preform your job, they were more interested in forms and protocol, than with actual results. Constant revolving door! The company changed names three times before I left, and then they decided to come after me for a non-compete that was signed three companies before. Of course it never went anywhere, but it didn't stop them from hassling me. Stay away unless you would like to tarnish your career.
