Pros

Friendly staff, lots of locations (and the different offices seem to work together effectively) and they have placement opportunities for a wide variety of different companies and industries.

Cons

Seems like a lot of the opportunities that come around are temporary/seasonal/short-term. Kelly does have an insurance plan you can buy into, but I got a better plan through the affordable care act.

Pros

Location. Cafeteria. Employees outside of the marketing department.

Cons

*Worked at corporate headquarters in Troy, in the marketing department. The job was supposed to be a "manager' position, but there was nothing to manage except the constant flow of research projects (production work, basically) for the "C-suite". There was no support, no positive feedback, and certainly no career development on the part of direct management. It was a sweat shop that could have been better served by outsourcing the research to an external firm (overseas, for example). *Older computer equipment (PCs, no laptops) *No opportunity for telework or flexible work environment, even though the work is solitary, production work that lends itself well to that model.

Pros

Been with Kelly for almost an year now. Few Pros – transparency, flexi working hours, welcoming new ideas to table, great R & R to employees across all departments, growth opportunities and most of all fun at work!

Cons

Few process needs to be documented and streamlined.
