Pros

The team Technologies they implement in recruitment

Cons

Salary in Spain for Recruitment Consultants is ridiculous: <16K € per year of base salary + ridiculous team bonus (hard to reach at least 20K of total comp package) 2 years of non-compete clause that doesn't allow you to work in ANY consultancy firm - it doesn't matter if your new role doesn't have to do with the responsibilities you had at your previous job at Randstad-. Also, they didn't even tell me about this clause until my very first day, leaving me without any option rather than signing the agreement or losing my job. I actually was involved in a lawsuit because of that. It was truly unfair, mainly bearing in mind that the compensation (10% of monthly base salary) is low compared to what you have to lose - not working for 2 years in recruitment agencies? even if the area of activity is TOTALLY different - market, industries, candidates background & candidate sourcing, geographical area - and there's no chance you can harm Randstad? Seriously?

Pros

Good bonus structure for those who under perform (no matter how good or bad you do, your bonusing the same as the next person).

Cons

There is no real leadership. Leadership is literally reading metrics off and telling you how bad you are.

Pros

Work life balance, lots of vacation time, for the most part a positive atmosphere

Cons

Push to be “human forward” yet our customer service and follow up with candidates is spotty. Sales targets are very aggressive, not enough freedom to get to the end result, mixed messages from upper management and line managers, internal politics are a thing feels like you have to be best friends with management outside of work to get anywhere in the company.
