Pros

In my office they hire primarily by referral. Most of my coworkers (25+) are cool.

Cons

VOIP phones go down. e-mail quits working. IT help desk is anything but. Very slow 3 MBPS internet speeds. My direct supervisor is very out of touch with almost everything. His coaching advise is simply "work harder". Unbelievably bad work/life balance. Weeks after Randtsad got sued and lost for making recruiters work 45+ hours a week and only paying them for 40 hours max, my boss was telling the whole office he'd like it if we worked overtime and didn't put it on our time cards. Very combative culture. If you call another office, you might get yelled at over the phone simply because they don't know you. There is practically no part of this company that works well. have an issue with you paycheck? good luck. Have an issue with your health benefits? good luck. "not my job" is the attitude for almost every support employee of Randstad. I worked here for 2 years, I know I can't believe it either, and I can easily say it was the worst mistake job wise that I've ever made. Very high turnover rate across the company. I'm on glass door looking for jobs right now actually.

Pros

My manager was super supportive, kind, and a great leader. Working from home allowed me next level flexibility and incentivized me to work harder. Always got shoutouts in meeting for good performance.

Cons

Pay is a little low to begin with and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period.
