Pros

Hard to think of any....... The only good think is location and marketing material are very good.

Cons

If you are thinking of accepting the offer... please read the review first, as the interview process seems really professional and they promise the world to you. Remember you are being interviewed by sales people... and they are selling you the job. First of all, they have the highest turnover. Every month there where about 2-6 people quitting the job. The other people are working just because they can not find a better job and need to pay their bills. -Expect to work very long hours, absolutely no life/work balance - The most micromanaging environment ever (everything has metrics, which are more important then results) - You have to give reports thee times a week, and if you haven't met you metrics they make your life miserable - Staffing consultants run a 360 desk, where you both sell and recruit. You are usually assigned tiny territories and have to work your manage, you can only sell core business, so if you get other orders you have to pass them to a different division with absolutely no benefits. - Very high pressure and stressful environment. If you are thinking of joining staffing industry, go to a competitor because you will hate your life if you join Randstad.....( I wish I was exaggerating).

Not great...

Pros

Compensation is great if you are a top performer, but that takes a long time, and was under-paid for the first 2 years. Leadership changes have been significant and therefore corporate direction changes often and without communication.

Cons

Randstad is becoming the "big box" staffing company that doesn't value it's staff, and replaces them without hesitation. The only way that you are assessed is based on your daily, weekly, monthly metrics. Only results are appreciated, and not effort.

Pros

Big brand, sufficient budget to spend on CRM, Beer Fridays, quarterly parties, branding, and personnel.

Cons

Unprofessional management, Neptitism, management doesn't tolerate anyone who speak the opinion. High turn over of tenured people after changes to upper management. Only values a person if they are a top performer or if they are favourited by the president or those close to him.
