Pros

Flexible work schedule and autonomy.

Cons

Base pay is extremely low. If you do well one year don't expect much compensation in the future, promotion is not something they strive for. If you do really well in metrics or KPIs one year expect to miss metrics or KPIs the following year. The goal structure is not created for continual success. KPI goals get blown out of the water after a positive year. Many hard structured rules as far as client markups and Staffing Manager capability to adjust them as to make sales. Many sales go unmade due to leadership not allowing flexibility even though competitors do. The company also created an entire division to assist with large scale hiring. The division was incredibly successful and supportive to my business and the majority of the company. In less than six months the company folded the division leaving hundreds without jobs and no real reasoning for the cancellation of the division.

Thank you for your feedback. The last 2 years have been difficult due to economic headwinds and a changing working environment. We are sorry that you had a bad experience; it is not what Randstad desires for its employees.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
