Pros

In a struggling economy having a job is a pro. Also, from speaking with previous co-workers I know that some offices have the luxury of having a good working environment.

Cons

A good working environment should not be a luxury, A manager once told me she has dealt with a lot worse. Why base what you have dealt with in the past on how you deal with your current employees? Also, I read a review somewhere on this page which quickly sums up the consultant position at Randstad "bait & switch" They bait you by saying "it is mostly recruiting" and once you are hired they eventually switch it to.."oh btw it is also an extremely aggressive sales position combined with recruiting,cold calling, receptionist, payroll, administrative assistant, etc. etc. "

Pros

Randstad is an awesome company to work for! If you are dedicated and good at what you do at Randstad, they are quick to recognize that through promotion, recognition, prizes and compensation. The company has aggressive yet attainable metrics and those that are passionate about succeeding, achieve their numbers and become leaders in the company. The working hours are good so there is an expectation that you get your work done during business hours by working hard and efficiently. Those that lack a sense of urgency, are afraid to pick up the phone, or are looking for the easy path, find it difficult working at Randstad. Someone that has always excelled in what they’ve done in jobs/life/sports would find that growth opportunities are endless. It’s a structured, growing company with ample training resources, selling/recruiting tools, and helpful managers to support your growing business. All-stars that are committed to being the best and are consistently top performers do very well here and love it!

Cons

The internal database/actvitiy tracking is not as quick as I’d like to document activities efficiently or pull reports in real time. I hear they are coming out with a new one this year though!
