      Pros

      Sometimes management listens to employees especially in terms of salary/ bonus compensation and etc. Kellians are generally warm and friendly but it may be quite competitive. Kelly has good recognition and awards for top achievers.

      Cons

      Target is very high and its a stressful environment to work in. You can only get your commission if you OVER-achieved your targets. You would have to be play a 360 role, even chasing payment. If you're not happy doing sales, you should not join Kelly.

      Good intentions by reps lead only to lacking results

      Pros

      Initial attitude and placement seems appropriate for someone selling you as an asset. Staffing coordinator has a lot of involvement and presence.

      Cons

      Promises get made and not kept. Unorganized and immature, a lot of the strategies employed destroy morale of the contractors.

      Pros

      The pros for working at Kelly Services is very straight foward simple; its a well known company and its a popular brand name in the work industry just like pepsi, walmart etc....

      Cons

      Having more then 6 years experience in customer service (Bilingual) and 3 years in oil and gas experience on the field, the main objective for contacting Kelly was to get an entry level position in oil and gas in the city of calgary. For now over a year i have been contacting the company for the exact same position that keeps coming up on their website with no success when i have all the requirements needed under my belt. Everytime i talk to this certain representative in charge of the position, its always a story after another. I've been to other agencies and when asked if i applied with any other agencies and when i mention Kelly services, they suggest that i should go anywhere else but Kelly. If you are really wanting to get a fast and recruiter to contact you from apllying there, then i would suggest you look elsewhere then this company.
