Pros

Flexible Schedules. Great starting pay. Great training / Great industry insight Will boost your professional career OUTSIDE the organization

Cons

What the company stands for as a WHOLE doesn't translate to the branch level and no one enforces it. Everyone you work with is a snake due to the competitiveness. If you have a complaint, it'll never make it past your immediate circle. No matter who you reach out to for help, It will always come back to your boss. Upper Management gets vindictive if you leave or try to leave. If you can't (B2B) sell, they have no use for you. Regardless of your other talents.

Pros

Randstad recruiter reached out to me and helped with placement at a contract position in my local area. They made introductions to company, assisted with interview prep and periodically followed up with me regarding performance in the position once staffed. Randstad can place you as a W2 employee and provides weekly salary.

Cons

Randstad support basically disappeared once my initial contract role was completed. They provide little to no assistance with trying to get me staffed on another contract. I reached out several times to my local office about opportunities they had posted which I was qualified for and never received one reply. It was as if they'd made their money off me (a considerable commission equal to approximately 30% of my contract rate) and just moved on, never giving me a second thought. They obviously didn't value me as a long-term asset. If you are just looking for a single contract without any expectations of a long-term relationship, then Randstad will probably serve its' purpose. Don't expect them to be interested in your career, you're just a revenue stream. They seem to exhibit the characteristics of a "body shop" which sells people for a single role and supports you only as long as it is profitable for them. I would not recommend contracting through Randstad.
