Pros

A global business with a good reputation in the market place in some areas but not in others. Opportunities exist.

Cons

The shared service centre based in Luton is treated awfully. There is no doubt that there is a bullying mentality from operational aspects towards Luton. Swearing at staff, rude Emails to Luton staff and is this addressed no it is not. The reaction is a huge degree of infighting. What makes matters worse is that the infighting then carries over to within Luton itself. HR appear to be very little help also seeming to side with operational (sales) sides as that is where the strength lies. Dreadful atmosphere and unlikely to change for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for your review, and sorry to hear you haven't had a great experience. The vast majority of employees have a positive experience working for Randstad based on our engagement survey results, so it is always disappointing to hear when this isn't the case. We do not accept any form of bullying, regardless of where it is coming from. Please feel free to get in touch with me directly to give me some more details if you feel something wasn't dealt with appropriately.
