Pros

Free coffee and water, also a chair at your desk

Cons

Very low base salary, terrible comission structure, toxic culture, management are disconnected and self serving. No clarity about progression or promotion, even though the role is sold as an opportunity to progress quickly. The goalposts constantly move with targets. Zero benefits. Witnessed people crying at their desks, taking stress leave, not being paid commission they have earned after they leave & bullying

Pros

Good spot to learn the staffing business

Cons

Company laid me off "due to the economic impact of COVID-19"....then turns around and tells people they've never done layoff (I currently work at a competitor and this is common knowledge in our market). Was also told the day before I was laid off that "we're a 24 billion dollar company. There is nothing to worry about". Do the math.

Pros

Great company to work as a remote contractor. Great work/life balance, depending on what you do. You work for the contracting company so there's a layer of sub management you never see. Pretty simple online recording of hours. Health benefits are decent. 401K and other benefits are dependent on the client's base benefits. Overall, a pretty decent company that represent contractors worldwide. Support for diversity and LGTBQ.

Cons

No performance reviews for contractor, therefore, no raises. Very little account management involvement. They only reach out to you when the contract is either ending or extending. Very slow to respond. Send them an email and it sits for weeks before they respond. Before accepting a job with them, read the client specifics carefully. If the client has a holiday, Randstad contractors will not get paid. PTO is non-existent. Sick time is non-existent. Bereavement is non existent. My mother died and a call and email requesting any help, 3 weeks later the account manager responds, "sorry about your mother, but no we don't have any bereavement time off" ... very insensitive. Only payroll emails happen every Friday or before a holiday. The company has a very hands off approach, and I understand that, but from a human resources perspective, Randstad fails quite miserably.
