Pros

So I was called by a recruiter to interview me and filled me up with the position. Took 15 minutes, said she would call me back after 2 days, Then I dont hear from them again until in one of the emails from the recruiter I found and email from another recruiter, I write and email and she tells me she does not know who the first recruiter is. So basically I talked with a stranger about the job. I did the onboarding and was let know training will be on for 3 weeks. NEVER WAS IT DISCLOSED THAT BY THE 3RD WEEK IF FINISHED THE TRAINING AND YOU FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, METRICS,COMPLIANCE, THEY ARE NOT KEEPING YOU!! I know by heart my class of 8 individuals in my class did not pass, its with a phone call starting dont log in, you did not pass the training. Waste of time studying and doing lessons just to be told YOU DID NOT PASS!! Also you are appointed a "point of contact" never reaches out to with questions, just reminders of lessons. I left a stable job for nothing work at home job that did not carried on.

Cons

Direct Deposit, Trainer, breaks and lunch

Kelly = Lost Its Identity

Pros

Field teams are hardworking and been through a lot. They have overcome many company transformations and economic obstacles in recruiting.

Cons

Kelly continues to be challenged by understanding who they are and want to be in the staffing industry. The company has gone through many transformations since 2019 which has led to substantial client, revenue, profits and market footprints across the United States. The company was founded on and supported its internal talent and people. That no longer exists like it once did prior to 2019. The company continues to lose top staffing talent and leadership due to above and lack of trust to the field. The company has also expressed that work life balance and flexibility are important. But this is not true and the direction they are going.
