Pros

Pay well as long as you have a contract

Cons

Even though you're salaried employee (remember as a salaried employee your pay is lower than hourly employees so that they can cover the bench pay) if you end up going to bench (not for your fault but client shutting down the project, bad boss etc.) they wont care! Dealing with HR...you need to follow up several times and then also sometimes it will be forgotten.

Pros

In my office they hire primarily by referral. Most of my coworkers (25+) are cool.

Cons

VOIP phones go down. e-mail quits working. IT help desk is anything but. Very slow 3 MBPS internet speeds. My direct supervisor is very out of touch with almost everything. His coaching advise is simply "work harder". Unbelievably bad work/life balance. Weeks after Randtsad got sued and lost for making recruiters work 45+ hours a week and only paying them for 40 hours max, my boss was telling the whole office he'd like it if we worked overtime and didn't put it on our time cards. Very combative culture. If you call another office, you might get yelled at over the phone simply because they don't know you. There is practically no part of this company that works well. have an issue with you paycheck? good luck. Have an issue with your health benefits? good luck. "not my job" is the attitude for almost every support employee of Randstad. I worked here for 2 years, I know I can't believe it either, and I can easily say it was the worst mistake job wise that I've ever made. Very high turnover rate across the company. I'm on glass door looking for jobs right now actually.

Pros

Partners with Google, participation in historic digitization project, option to continue temp employment in damaged economic climate at the close of the project

Cons

No health insurance, sweat-shop like standards, workplace climate of bullying and intimidation, disconnect between corporate aspirations of power-holding c-suite wannabes and the working conditions of the average plebeian, irregularly enforced policies of tolerance, high school factory floor politics, termination of position after two years no matter the quality of performance
