Kelly Services – “Think twice about working here.

Apr 7, 2009

1.0

Kelly Services Various in Fremont, OH:   (Past Employee - 2007)

Pros

The best reason to work for them is because it's temporary and one can have a salary until they find a permanent position.

Cons

You are easily replaced, you have no recourse from unethical supervisors or inappropriate workloads; employers are always believed over the employee; blacklisting is practiced and lying is the norm. It is a myth that you can work as long as you like and if you don't like an assignment, they frown upon you asking for another one. They want you to remain in an assignment until the client lets you go. They don't care if you're happy with it or not. They also share comments about your records with other temp services and potential employers.

Advice to Senior Management

More value needs to be placed on the employee and less on the client.

My experience working for Kelly Services was not good either. They believe any lie the employer tells them and go to any length to please the clients. There is no respect for hard working honest employees. I too feel that they share comments about employee records with other agencies and prospective employers. I have seen employees placed by Kelly Services who walk into an assignment and have walked away from it with in hours of starting the assignment. When I joined Kelly Services, I was told that if I ever have any problems, I need to let them know and they will do everything to resolve the issue. But when the time came, I was told to ignore what was going on and may be the problems will go away.

I do not understand how reasonable is it for an employer to expect an employee to be committed, honest, hardworking etc. when they do not have any kind of consideration for the employee! When employees don't not feel secure and feel the need to watch their back constantly, they can not be expected to be committed.
