Pros

Well known name. Multiple offices. Multiple openings.

Cons

Poor communication with respect to employee and Manpower expectations. I needed a temporary position while pursueing career opportunities, I thought I was getting a 1st shift temporary position that would give me some flexibility to take time off for interviews etc. Temporary position (1st shift) was suppose to be for 2 months, kept getting extended (4 months and looking like 7 months plus). This was not in my career field, I needed 1st shift flexibility or 2nd or 3rd shift. I asked Manpower for a 2nd or 3rd shift position and they wanted to keep me in the 1st shift position without the flexibility I needed to pursue a career position.

Pros

The company I was assigned to is able to provide upskilling opportunities assuming you are performing well. The job is relatively easy and pays well in comparison to the market.

Cons

The work itself can be repititive but that is just the nature of data entry. I had to put something here to place the review..
