Overall Good

Pros

- Work from home - NICE equipment, not the old, half functioning machines you get at most offices; chat advisors get an iMac and a 2nd monitor, as well as a mouse and keyboard (no mouse pad! don't forget to buy one! - thorough training program

Cons

- micro-management--it appears as though there is a lack of trust on Kelly's side toward employees. Some of the strictness is necessary but some other things seems a little out of line (e.g. a trainer telling us that they'll recommend us to be failed if we take too many notes--what a silly thing to worry over as long as we are writing down anything sensitive.
