Pros

Experis has active partnerships with many reputable companies as do many other staffing and boutique consulting firms. Local operations personnel are helpful. If you are looking for periodic or inconsistent project work then this could be the place for you. It is a good conduit to temp work especially if you have deep audit and accounting experience. There is general work-life flexibility.

Cons

These comments are purely my opinion based on my experiences and not statements of fact. Management is absolutely toothless. I am astonished at how poorly the organization is managed. For many managers it seems as if Experis is a place to land until they retire. There appears to be little desire to change what is known to be broken, to improve archaic, manual processes, or to invest in its people (I had zero training). It is all about what you can do for them. There is very little advancement opportunity. Where you enter the organization is likely to be where you remain as long as you are employed there. Work is not always steady nor are projects reliable. You will be aggressively recruited but do not expect the same level of enthusiasm or attention once you start with them. Be prepared for hard negotiations on your hourly rate. Their margins matter first and foremost. You can and will be replaced without notice if the client or Experis deems it appropriate. Office politics in some locations is atrocious, mean, personal, and petty. There is a lot of finger pointing and bickering (especially behind each others' back). Turnover is very high, but it seems to be an accepted cost of business.

Pros

Large, stable company that is organized and operates ethically. I enjoyed the people on my team. While I think its tough to make a fortune as a recruiter (unless you luck out with the clients/skill buckets your assigned), its also pretty tough to completely fail there, and new hires are generally given a pretty long time to develop (for better or worse)

Cons

*Poor commission package for recruiters - I had 4 different comp plans in 4 yrs, each one a little worse than the previous and is the main reason I'm finally leaving the company *Unrealistic goals - maybe 20% of the recruiters/bdm's meet the actual minimums that are expected, and aren't in tune with similar sized competitors in IT *Over-organization, over-communication, over- analysis, coupled with almost as many middle managers as producers, makes it tough to get actual work done. If you like meeting about meetings, and trainings on things that have no relevance to your job, this is the place *Upper Management is rarely heard from besides a few mass emails, and inspires little confidence when they are *Once we went to centralized back office model, the support is an absolute nightmare. Every placement I've made has been danger of delay or non-starting unless I've stayed completely on top of the process, and costs valuable recruiting time
