Former Employee – worked at Accountemps as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – If you need a job right away, they can accommodate with that. Otherwise, you are better off searching for an internship.
Cons – I have only gotten assignments that are really short-termed. These agents don't care enough to find you a position suitable for your skills, and they just need to fill a position as soon as possible.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Accountemps as a contractor
Pros – Depending on the office, there are staffing managers who will look for the right opportunities that match one's background. There was one who actually stood up for the temps during a large project (100+ temps) when the client was cavalier about the time demands. They have contacts with the major employers. They offer online training to aid in experiencing new software.
Cons – To some staffing managers, the temps are just commodities and they don't try to make good matches with their experience and career interests. They just want to shove them in the door. When an offered assignment is declined for justifiable cause, such as as skill mismatch, they don't note why in the system. (Then they'll jump on the temp for turning down something that they'd likely have been a poor choice for.)
Advice to Senior Management – Your staffing managers need to be in less of a "salesperson" mode and more in tune with the skills of those they're trying to place. If an assignment is declined for a skill related reason, Note It! You won't be replacing temps as frequently.

Current Employee – been working at Accountemps as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – They tried hard to place me.
Cons – The pay is horrible. After taxes I was better off on unemployment. While on the job, I met another contract worker who told me that Accountemps and Robert Half pay the lowest wages and now I believe it. You can purchase medical insurance but on these wages, who can afford it?
Advice to Senior Management – Give the workers a bigger share of the money you get from the employers. I was making more as a receptionist for Kelly.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Management listens to employee input and treats employees w/respect. Tenured management offers great knowledge base and very hands on in staff development.
Cons – Resources of a large company, but sometimes takes a while to roll out new technology due to the size of the organization. Currently making an effort to be more green
Advice to Senior Management – Keep the technology updates coming. They have and will continue to be a competitive advantage.

Former Employee – worked at Accountemps
Pros – One office is way more professional than the other.
You can make pocket change working there.
You may have consistent work.
Cons – Pay is way to low. Places they send you to treat you like a punching bag and say things that are way out of line, and you call your rep and they beg you to go back the next day. Don't count on making any friends or references at the places they send you to.
Advice to Senior Management – get better
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
