Pros

I worked at Kelly from 2021 to 2024, tried other job and ended up coming back which probably says a lot about the company. The projects are engaging, and I’ve worked with some genuinely supportive and talented people. The flexibility is great, and I’ve always appreciated how approachable the team and leadership are. It feels like a place that’s trying to do things the right way.

Cons

There’s still room to grow when it comes to internal processes and communication between teams. At times, priorities shift quickly, which can make it a bit challenging to stay aligned on goals.
