Pros

If you have desire, ability and willingness to learn and grow, there is no place better to gain valuable business and life skills including but not limited to problem solving, creative thinking, accountability, verbal and written communication, time management, and accountability.

Cons

Lean environment. Improve training for corporate support departments (their actions & activities can lead to substantial re-work for field).

Pros

Kelly Services provides and promotes continuing education and growth, and fosters a culture of enjoyable learning and relevant skill development. This isn't not a corporation of ego's, it's filled with experienced and knowledgeable leaders that nurture, share and innovate. This is a brilliant company.

Cons

Kelly Services is the 5th largest employment agency in the world. We are globally distributed and can garner massive strength from internal communication systems. Thus the challenge as a BDR is the ability to get 'all' of the relevant information, when approaching an opportunity. Kelly has responded to this by investing in systems that have enabled global communication in ways that I never thought were possible. They impress me every day. This week, Kelly Services even launched an app in the app store.

Pros

I have worked with Kelly on several different occasions. I have gotten an offer from the company I was temping for each time. Great way to get a job especially in this economy.

Cons

You are not an employee of the company you are working for and they can get rid of you much easier. If you are a hard worker tho this isnt an issue
