Pros
Direct Manager relationships are sometimes very good and caring about personal growth opportunites, some offices have good teamwork environments.Good Med/Dental Benefits, good vacation accrual. In some markets, the company has good brand name recognition. Some managers motivate on common goals, desire to be the best. Good usage of marketing using Mission, Vision and Values to customers.
Cons
Pay rate is low, commission structure is poor, consistently too many job duties to do effectively with the amount of internal staff at the branch level, runs a too-lean organization in comparison to name brand staffing companies - no money for contractor recognition programs or small $5.00 or $10.00 gifts for clients such as donuts or Starbucks, no reimbursements for mileage for outside sales, sharing a common pool for bonus with co-workers who may not be contributors (i.e. lazy/full of distractions such as constant personal problems) is a bad idea, poor performers often keep jobs if connected well politically in the organization, company won't pay good account managers the market rates so that the branch has orders to fill. Upper management has a hidden agenda, so many secrets, whispering behind your back. Not enough manpower in the offices to actually do more than give lip service to Candidates Mission, Vision and Values goals. Corporate Management sometimes makes snap judgements and won't consider other alternatives. Worried about how long before the company is sold to another entity. Management uses fear to motivate which backfires in the long run.
