      I worked at Randstad US full-time

      Pros

      Good for sales driven individuals. Maybe if you value drinking and socializing and ego stroking more than work. Good training programs.

      Cons

      Expectations are high, terrible compensation, you're nothing but a number. Very political workplace. No work life balance.

      Advice to Management

      Pay your people more, stop restructuring every 6 months. Stop with the favoritism.

      I have been working at Randstad US full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good for short term work. Would recommend working for them for up to 5 years. Comforting and relaxed work environment

      Cons

      Easy to get "lost in the mix". No real opportunities to climb up in the company, you stay in your given role.

      Advice to Management

      Should spend more time liberalizing the work environment. Trying to accommodate for the needs of every single employee with policies that are not valued too highly

      Managers and/or senior personnel should be supportive and involved for the first few months to help guide and show you how the job is done.
