Pros

Kelly is a great place to get your foot in the door (entry-level) of the staffing world. They are a well respected staffing company, and probably the best staffing company that I have seen. Provide great customer service. Consistently score great in regards with temp employee satisfaction.

Cons

Slow to change, conservative business philosophy. Not a lot of career advancement opportunties or opportunity to grow outside of said job description. Out-dated views on the way work can be performed- not a lot of opportunity to telecommute, flex schedules, etc. Very rigid.
