Pros

You work at home. No commute

Cons

Did not give you the apple equipment necessary to properly answer calls (You will be taking technical calls for the Iphone and will not have one in your possession unless you buy it yourself) You can be fired for one bad customer review -- regardless if it is an Apple problem (there servers are down or it is becasue you were not given the resources to properly answer the call) And YOU have to pay for your phone line and internet connection... basically making the job pay at or below minimum wage

Kelly = Lost Its Identity

Pros

Field teams are hardworking and been through a lot. They have overcome many company transformations and economic obstacles in recruiting.

Cons

Kelly continues to be challenged by understanding who they are and want to be in the staffing industry. The company has gone through many transformations since 2019 which has led to substantial client, revenue, profits and market footprints across the United States. The company was founded on and supported its internal talent and people. That no longer exists like it once did prior to 2019. The company continues to lose top staffing talent and leadership due to above and lack of trust to the field. The company has also expressed that work life balance and flexibility are important. But this is not true and the direction they are going.
