Pros
I am so proud of what my company is today and what they strive to be. I'm proud of my coworkers and the kind of people this company hires. I'm proud of how much this company challenges me and pushes me to be even better at my job than I thought I could be. This organization genuinely cares about its people. The company is transparent…they urge employees to give honest feedback on a coworker survey every 6 months, and then the CEO and COO share the feedback (even the criticism) in a town hall meeting. Not only do they own up to all of the things our company could do better for its employees, but then they announce exactly how they plan to improve and they give updates on how they're doing throughout the year. But the thing that makes me the most proud is Roth Staffing's commitment to doing good things for others. We are encouraged to help in our communities and we're given company hours to volunteer. We celebrate "remarkable experiences" companywide almost daily with stories that pop-up on our screens and I can read about what other branches are doing across the country to make life better for people. I am inspired at work every day. Staffing is a cool business. We get to help companies fill positions. We get to help professionals find great places to work. And out of all the firms in the staffing industry, the best company to work for is Roth Staffing Companies. They really get it. They know how much staffing can impact the lives of people and they help us focus on that.
Cons
No company is perfect, especially in staffing. In fact, I have heard some terrible horror stories about the experiences people have had at other staffing companies. I see complaints on this site about how much work is required at our company, how lean some of the teams run, or how the company doesn't quite live up to the core values it says it has. My answer to that is, yes, it's hard work, but the required daily work that other companies in staffing require is often much more challenging than the expectations at Roth Staffing. The activity we're expected to get done each week is definitely attainable. Also, our managers always remind us that the reason we need to achieve this daily/weekly activity is so that we have the opportunity to help more people - I appreciate the fact that we focus on the big picture and I see why my work is meaningful. Yes, our team is lean, but I know what the hiring trigger is and that we can grow and invest in our team each time we hit a trigger. And lastly, I would rather work for a company that articulates its core values and strives to live by those values each day, than to work at a company that doesn't even try to abide by a set of important philosophies. I think people have high expectations when they work at our company because we have the reputation for being "the best" but it's up to me to make it the best. People who come to our company and sit back expecting to be waited on will be disappointed. Everyone has to do their part. It doesn't work out for everyone. You really have to have a talent for sales, a passion for helping people, and you have to be aligned with our company's values - if you're not, you'll be unhappy. Those who are a good fit will stay with this company for life and they'll love it as much as I do.

Pros
I have been with Roth Staffing for more than 10 years and the company keeps getting better and better. It is has changed dramatically over the last five years and I applaud the changes. I love what the company stands for and that Roth Staffing allows me to feel that my life is in balance...my personal values and the company values are one of the same. I have been with other staffing companies and this is a different world. For me, I am a better person since I have joined this company and my family always comments on how it has changed me. I enjoy my weekends but I look forward to coming to work. I love the people I work with, the friends I have made and the balance in life that I have been provided. I know this sounds extreme but a lot of my coworkers feel the same way. Roth expects a lot from its coworkers. It has to do more with expecting people to do good things for others and achieving performance activities that produce the proper results. Everyone sells and services which is great since it is similar to having our own business and control over our incomes. If someone has the drive, they will be successful and there are a ton of people who have been with the company for more than 10 years which says a lot. People in branches that don't want to work or who don't want to sell will have challenges. The expectations are reasonable. There are more opportunities today for growth than ever. The atomic system is based is a platform for creating teams within branches, identifying new managers and promoting from within. Most managers today are from internal promotions of coworkers. When people comment about not having opportunities for promotions, either they don't know the company or are temporary employees (Ambassadors) on assignment. Their situation is obviously different. I have grown through the company as have many of my peers. There is always a challenge as to having enough people in a branch. I know the company supports adding more coworkers but the success of the branch dictates the number of coworkers. The company has grown significantly over the past years in revenues and number of coworkers and the branch dynamics keep getting better. I know that the company focus is having larger branches, with more coworkers in each branch. It is happening more and more. Lastly, I feel very well supported by the leadership team. There is clarity regarding the direction of the company and it is communicated to everyone through town hall meetings. There is a lot of recognition and community focus. The leadership team's heart is in the right place. Joining Roth Staffing is the best thing I have done in my career.
Cons
The challenge with any company with more than 100 branches is having every manager be perfectly aligned with the company standards and values. Roth does more than any other staffing company to answer this challenge as evidenced by it being designated as the Best Staffing Firm to Work for and one of the Top 50 Workplaces in the nation. Still, it is imperfect. All coworkers have a voice and avenues available to them to constantly make things better.
