Pros

Had a lot of positive aspects to the company prior to the economic downturn and may return to that when the economy improves.

Cons

Once the economy tanked so did the company's attitudes towards employees. Became very reactive and lost sight of holding onto current clients in exchange for trying to bring in as many new clients as possible. Upper management lost touch with the realities of the local market and demanded impossible quotas to be met.

Pros

Vacation time is generous. Under good managers, work life balance can exist. Under good managers, good promotion opportunities exist for top performers. Well-designed offices. Good technical support. Some very good long-term employees.

Cons

Many incompetent managers. Poor long term strategy with new senior management. Shrinking market, making it difficult to make a profit as a branch.

Pros

I found that my co-workers were pretty supportive and helpful. I learned far more from my peers than I did from my manager or upper management.

Cons

Randstad cultivates a culture of fear. Employees are looked at only for their numbers. It seemed that every time the Dutch HQ had a new idea for how to structure branches and drive sales, everyone had to completely shift existing processes.
