Pros

Job opportunities. Randstad has many jobs to fill and will give you a chance if youre in need of employment, try to use that chance for something better.

Cons

Ranstad does not consider the "human" part of the term "human capital" we were hired to do a project for the state of Illinois in downtown Chicago. It was a disaster from the start, as we were lied to about having PTO, overtime opportunities, and advancement opportunities. The project was unstable and management was unresponsive and to top it off, the building we worked in was INFESTED with bed bugs. Randstad did not address us about the many changes that were taking place, it was if they simply fit their quota to put warm bodies in seats and forgot about us. They even had the audacity to ask us for referrals! Avoid Randstad if you can. Once they place you and get their cut from your service, you have fulfilled your duties to them and will be (mis)treated as such.

Pros

Super helpful, at first. But don't expect that to last.

Cons

Poor communication with recruiters, even at the senior level. Having worked in corporate America for 10+ years, this organization is lacking much needed leadership.
