Pros

I haven't got any for this company.

Cons

I worked for a company for 2and 1/2 years until an angry girlfriend had me arrested for domestic assault. I was on parole and went back to prison for a year. I was told by my former employer that I could come back but would have to start over as a temp. I went to apply with Randstad and it took more than 2 weeks for the background check to come back. I didn't go for the domestic case until 13 months after the co called incident. It was dismissed. The background came back as a no so I appealed and the second time I was told I could work for Randstad. I pursued a job with my old employer and was told by Randstad that I couldn't be sent there. After a month I was called about a job in another city. After meeting with them they said I have a restriction and couldn't go to that job either. I have yet to be told what this restriction is and how to remove it. They do not call with any other possible jobs. When you fill out a job application it ask if you have been convicted of a felony in the past 7 years. Not Randstad. They ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony period. My belief (and I have talked to others in a similar situation) is that these people hold anything against you that they can. My felonies are 16 years old. I went through a different temp agency in 2013. Since I applied through Randstad this time I can't reapply with the other place. They aren't offering any answers or solutions.

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.
