Pros

-Work from home -Supplies Computer and Headset

Cons

-Training is very vague and conducted by trainers who love to mention their drinking issues which is very distracting and not very professional and awkward. -Final test with few questions that where actually covered in training. -2nd Trainer who talked down the first trainer who set me up for failure due to contradictory and misleading training in preparation for Tests. -Hours for final "work schedule where scattered and they could change on you weekly in less that 24 hours, "you must check your schedule daily even after it was posted" This is not only unprofessional but it creates a hostile work environment. - Albeit hours are based on need and call volumes but not guaranteed as we where informed on last day of training. This is a very dangerous assignment to take if your a student or a parent on a schedule, if your a loner with no commitments, social life prior to your employment you should do fine. -To many websites that are not linked on one great main portal to keep confusion down. You have to request time off one one site, check for the latest updates on another, study articles on another, give away or accept shifts on another etc. This is very, very confusing and also very unprofessional. -By the end of training I have saved over 100 different links and notes that it took time to arrange them in a concise and understandable manner.

Pros

It is working from home.

Cons

Everything else. Low wages, poor benefits, bad scheduling, no concern for employees, terrible micromanagement, retaliatory management, and an overall lack of organization.

Pros

The local office recruiter is very nice.

Cons

The corporate office doesn't care. I was receiving unemployment from an existing claim which was just about to end anyway. I was on a week assignment with Kelly Services. When it ended you have to 're-open' your existing unemployment claim and unemployment has to investigate why it ended. Well they did and everything was okay as the local Kelly office agreed verified why it ended and the decision was my unemployment could continue. Well I get a notice filed by Kelly Services Corporate office that they appealed the decision and has arranged for a hearing over the phone with a Judge. I called their office and they said that it didn't matter that they were not a part of my existing claim. They would be my last employer from their viewpoint and therefore would have to pay me should I open a future claim. That does not seem right or fair at all. How can they appeal something because they don't want to pay you in the future sometime down the road. I think they appeal every decision that comes to their office because of greed. Just know that if you work for Kelly Services and it ends and you want to file for unemployment they will deny it no matter what.
