Experis Reviews

I have been working at Experis full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Lots of opportunities for salespeople and recruiters.
You can make a lot of money if you are willing to work hard and patiently grow your client or consultant base.

Cons – Training program is intended for employees with similar experience and a history of success. Not a full-scale training program for those that are new to the industry. However, this may be changing soon.

Advice to Senior Management – Encourage local teams to customize their offerings to their local market and clients. Don't forget that efficiency isn't everything. Many customers still want personal relationships with their consultants and the people that support them.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Experis

Pros – Experis as a company was attractive at first, being under the umbrella of a larger corporation. co-workers were nice and everyone was easy going

Cons – everyone was too easy going. management from all branches were disorganized. directors and managers were never onthe same page and many employees were just staying due to seniority

Advice to Senior Management – get on the same page and organize things for your branch in an effective manner

I have been working at Experis full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Set your own hours. You can make valuable business contacts and learn a lot from our clients.

Cons – Supervisors who don't know anything about the job they send you to. Focus on keeping the client happy no matter how much you have to compromise the quality of the work. It's all about the billable hours.

Advice to Senior Management – Won't bother to share any advice - they won't listen anyway.

I have been working at Experis full-time for more than a year

Pros – there are not many pro's in my particular location

Cons – This company lied to attract me.

Advice to Senior Management – Start paying attention to what is happening in your company. Candidates and consultants are our livelyhood- maybe it's time we treated them with a little respect. Also, as a company- learn to be responsible and stop transfering blame.

I have been working at Experis full-time for more than a year

Pros – Experis placed me in a position where I was the one and only candidate and met all of the hiring managers needs. They know exactly how to fill a position with the right employee.

Cons – The temporary agency contact personnel are not onsite at my actual workplace and therefore contacting them can at times be difficult and time-consuming.

Advice to Senior Management – Place one temporary agency team member at your major client sites (I am one of several temps working at a company through Experis.)

Pros – None to exclaim. Try to give you workarounds for the poor benefits provided.

Cons – Bad benefits, horrible time off, poor representation of company. Lie about the position and actual duties.

Advice to Senior Management – Start caring about employees.

I have been working at Experis as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Aggressive account managers that try to find new roles for you but do not always come through

Cons – Expected to work extra hours for the client for free
Benefits are poor even for long-term assignments. No 401K contributions. No vacation pay. No sick pay.No contact with the Experis people who got you hired during your contract
Very poor customer service for benefits, payroll, or anything else
Low pay rates and no opportunity for promotion

Advice to Senior Management – Care about your employees. You do very little to keep them engaged and around.

I have been working at Experis

Pros – Diversified global client consultant opportunities

Cons – Travel at times can be extensive

I have been working at Experis as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – It's a job. Gain some experience, but not enough to help your career. You get some money, but far far less than you would make for the same job in Minneapolis, Chicago, or even Omaha.

Cons – 1. The Experis Manager is your real boss. He is the only one that can hire/fire you. Although, each team is different. Some have Citi Managers or Team Leads that act more like dictators than actual supervisors or managers.
2. You will never get a raise, unless you are promoted to Team Lead. You can only be promoted if the current Team Lead leaves. Even Team Leads don't get raises. Experis has made this clear to the Team Leads and they make every one else aware of it. ( At least the good ones do. )
3. The benefits suck, which is why they have a high turnover rate. And yes, this has been brought to the attention of the Experis Manager. He doesn't really care.
4. Some advice: Always do the bare minimum. Going above and beyond will never get you anywhere in this job. The good Team Leads would agree on this one.
5. I've been here around a year and have seen people fired within 2 days yet others fall asleep at their desk and manage to stay over 6 months. Experis doesn't seem to enforce the rules evenly.
6. If you are smart you will quit right after hitting your 6 months because you have to wait 6 months for a Citi job if Experis hires you. Of course, Citi has their own issues and doesn't have any open jobs either. You only get Holiday pay after working for 1000 hours or about 6 months. You are only eligable for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) after 2000 hours or about 1 year.
Oh, and you don't get paid time off. Yet you are required to take a week off. Since Experis won't give PTO, this becomes mandatory unpaid time off for a week every year.
7. Working with Citi kinda sucks. Communication is a major issue that Citi, nor Experis, seem to care about.
