Pros

Easy position to acquire right out of college. With the right management and proper training, this branch has great potential.

Cons

The environment was an "us vs. them" environment in which the Sales Managers and Recruiters were always blaming one another when filling job requisitions was difficult. The environment was also one without trust- at the end of each day, you wondered what your coworkers would say about you once you walked out the door, because gossip ran rampant during work hours. Management turned a blind eye to this and often engaged in the conversations. Proper training was not provided. Training was typically about two days long for recruiters and consisted of reading through 100+ PowerPoint slides containing jargon specific to technical recruiting, completing a couple of mock phone interviews, and then calling candidates from a list the recruiter had selected based on the requirements of an open requisition. Being a first time recruiter, this was discouraging because the process was rushed and did not provide a sense of confidence. Training methods were inconsistent among employees.

Pros

I got hired as a temp for Randstad at my former company(QBE First), since after doing big lay-offs companies often let more folks go than they can get by with. Was let go again after about a month after they started to get caught back up, but at least was in familiar surroundings with decent pay (but no benes, of course). Some folks who came back with me stayed on a bit longer but all were laid off again within the next few months.

Cons

Some other folks who came back as temps with me had interpersonal problems with new supervisors which created problems with Randstad for them. But most of those situations were few & far between. Randstad was not able to find me another temp position, so I eventually hired on with another temp agency (AppleOne) for some short term jobs.
