Pros

Close to home. The management team was very understanding of work/life balance. Compensation was a little below average but you could live off it.

Cons

Management did not communicate well at all. Whether it be about internal situations or new initiatives, they always kept sales in the dark. Not a great total compensation package. Commissions were very weak. A good place to start a B2B career.

Pros

Vacation time is generous. Under good managers, work life balance can exist. Under good managers, good promotion opportunities exist for top performers. Well-designed offices. Good technical support. Some very good long-term employees.

Cons

Many incompetent managers. Poor long term strategy with new senior management. Shrinking market, making it difficult to make a profit as a branch.

Pros

I found that my co-workers were pretty supportive and helpful. I learned far more from my peers than I did from my manager or upper management.

Cons

Randstad cultivates a culture of fear. Employees are looked at only for their numbers. It seemed that every time the Dutch HQ had a new idea for how to structure branches and drive sales, everyone had to completely shift existing processes.
