Long hours and a great deal of travel. It is a start up division within a larger orgainziation. It's what makes it exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. External pressure buy the buyer to deliver programs for less.

Have more opportunities for consultants

Pros

clear career progression
excellent benefits
good working culture

Cons

being so large it is impossible to find right person in back office to speak to!

Pros

Great career promotion prospects
Large international organisation

Cons

Many of the staff are incompetent - particularly at consultant level
Big changes are implemented without consulting with those working at grass roots, resulting in many mistakes

Pros

Global company, the opportunity to head overseas if that suits you. Continual turnover of staff at entry level is both good & bad.

Cons

Regular strategic changes make it difficult to provide consistency to clients. Some of the focus is sometimes too heavily in favour of activity for activity's sake, instead of results and long-term client relationships.

Advice to Senior Management

Figure out whether you're a local, branch focused recruitment model, and have an Adecco sign on every street corner, or build a Major Account Centre operation, and stick with it.

Pros

Quick way to get back in the field. Opportunity to be hired as permanent employee for large Fortune 500 companies.

Cons

Pay is not competative, there arent enough temp to perm positions available. Take atleast 6 months to a year to be hired in by contract company.

Pros

Excellent place for development. Lots of exposure to other organizations, HR knowledge, and different recruitment processes

Cons

Terrible play and a glass ceiling. Hourly employees are not treated very well.

Advice to Senior Management

Become competitive by giving raises that are worthwhile. Develop your workforce internally.
