Pros

Flex time, just "okay" commission plan

Cons

This company used to be Think Resources and since the integration (painfully slow an cumbersome) a lot of legacy AM's and Recruiters stayed and of course. get the preferential treatment. While there are always companies to call and get new business, most of the "cherry accounts" are taken and a lot of former Think employees are difficult, some downright nasty mean and will stab you in the back while smiling at you. I Was told on several occasions when it came to account ownership that "If it's not in the CRM, it did not happen (conversations, etc) But one prospect was taken from me in deference to a Senior AM with more tenure when an account came up that I penetrated and put in CRM. Well, the Senior AM had called previously, but never bothered to put in notes as he "didn't think it had potential" but once he noticed I had entered the prospect in, went to management and they gave it to him instead...again, if it's not in the CRM (and it was not), it didn't happen....but apparently they are loose and fast with those rules to favor more senior people. Salary for AM's is not competitive- $45,000/YR base with "okay' comp plan. Average salary for a 10 year person should be $50,000-$55,000/YR in Atlanta...

Pros

Large company. Opportunities for career growth.

Cons

The company is disorganized in certain areas, which could just be symptomatic of growth. I did not receive full disclosure of the position requirements at the time of employment and overall had a negative experience in what I feel is an overall good company.

Pros

None. Think twice before accepting any position with Randstad--it is just a Temp Mill that thrives off commission and being RUDE to new temp staff. Was hired for temp-to-perm for 3 months, but it ended in 2 months...through no fault of my own..even my co-workers were surprised because I was a positive, model employee.

Cons

High turnover and low pay rate at this job location. "Orientation Session" was laughable. Randstad Recruiter was not professionally attired (wore flipflops on regular basis), was not prepared to present (laptop batteries died); referred new hires to online information (not enough time for questions). First TWO paychecks delayed due to ineptness and/or inadequate onboarding of new hire information. The email response from recruiter was almost like, "Oh Well, too bad for you."
