Pros

The commute was good. Close to home.

Cons

I had a very disappointing experience with Randstad in Carlisle, PA, and would not recommend them to job seekers or businesses. Their poor communication is frustrating—messages go unanswered, and when they do respond, it's often vague and unhelpful. One of the biggest issues is pay delays and missing paychecks. Contractors frequently report not being paid on time, and the company provides inconsistent and misleading excuses. This is unacceptable for professionals who rely on timely payments. Management is unprofessional and disorganized, making it difficult to get clear information about job roles, expectations, or even onboarding details. Many employees are misled about job responsibilities, leading to frustration once they start their assignments. There is no real opportunity for growth or advancement, and the company makes no effort to support career development. Additionally, they lack transparency in their hiring and onboarding process, leaving candidates confused about requirements and expectations. Even more concerning, their I-9 screening process for candidates is inadequate, which raises serious compliance concerns. This level of negligence could put contractor jobs at risk and result in heavy fines for the company. Overall, I would strongly advise against working with or through Randstad in Carlisle, PA. Their disorganization, lack of professionalism, and failure to pay employees on time make them an unreliable and untrustworthy staffing agency.
