Very low pay and bad benefits

Pros

Management is friendly and cares

Cons

Kelly ONLY offers medical benefits and do not offer vision or dental benefits - even if you're willing to pay for it. They are known to pay well below the hourly rate of other vendors. It's extremely difficult to get a hold of anyone at Kelly HQ (Payroll, etc.)

A mixed bag at best.

Pros

The Kelly Services corporate offices have a much more modern and fun atmosphere than some similar corporations.

Cons

Some departments within Kelly Services had issues related to inconsistent and nontransparent management processes. This perception that favoritism and cliquishness existed resulted in a counterproductive focus on office politics as opposed to office processes.

Pros

Working remotely at home! There are lots of breaks throughout the day.

Cons

Although nice, the trainers are not very professional. They focus more on trying to be cool than actually teaching you the content. You can hear aggravation in their voice if you don't catch on immediately. Also, this is a temp company. They are making on average about $5/hr off of you.
