Pros

PTO is bad, but you'll be treated badly for taking it. You don't suffer alone. Your coworkers suffer with you. Pay is ok, but it'll probably be screwed up or not on time.

Cons

Severe micro management with endless nagging. No flexibility, terrible work environment and work culture. Go work for a startup or dell. Stay far far away for this place. You're treated like children by children. It's like working for the mean girls in junior high. It's almost comical the lack of professionalism. The girls that run the office are on the verge of an HR train wreck. The managers have no other management experience more or less work experience and don't know anything else but Randstad. You'll feel like you're on the verge of getting fired from the day you start.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. While we would love for all of our employees to be happy and leave us 5-stars, we do understand that that is not realistic and we are grateful for any/all advice. Because your review is listed as anonymous, it is hard for us to address these issues - so if you would want to email us at at digital@randstadusa.com (with specifics, names, locations. etc..) we can do our best to make it right and address the branch managers personally. Thank you and have a great day!

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.
