Advice to Senior Management

pullup your socks

Pros

They have good benefit system, employees there are pretty polite. And it is really big consultant company, have offices everywhere.

Cons

It is not easy to give you a chance to be assigned even they have promised to give you assignments.

Advice to Senior Management

Consultants need to be treated as really employees instead of just consultants.

Pros

Young organization, pay is fair. Good for entry level job seekers. Also a good launching point for people in the retail sector, athletes and cheerleaders to start a corporate job,

Cons

Lack of career growth, constant changes which are not communicated, inexperienced management, unprofessional staff. Too conservative, doesn't want to take risks. Salary increase is very small. Performance reviews are not accurate and management needs to be constantly reminded to conduct one.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your consultants and employees. Some of your practices borders on the medieval. Too many cheerleaders and athletes in the recruiting team and too little professional recruiters.

Pros

Salary was great and the benefits were decent. I enjoyed their method of keeping contact and didn't work you into the ground.

Cons

Their problems begin with their clients and their obvious bowing to their every whim. The one I worked with had serious lack of respect issues and would attack and bully you psychologically. Bottom-rungers had the highest blood pressure. The pay was not worth the trouble of working for you. Money clearly is not everything.

Advice to Senior Management

In this terrible economy, don't forget to support the little guy while dutifully seeing to the needs of Goliath. Listen more and perhaps this would have a direct relationship with employee retention while simultaneously meeting the bottom line.

Pros

Weekly and timely pay check.
Professional and friendly operations staff.
Large client base.

Cons

No perks.
If you are a bad negotiator you are stuck with the same (bad) hourly pay.

Advice to Senior Management

Have a constant dialogue with the consultants. Have weekly web conferences to discuss good things. These web conferences could be a good way to get a first hand feedback from the field.

Pros

They seem to be typically of a US run contracting operation of their size. They do offer the opportunity to buy into health benefits (pricey), fair compensation for contractors from what I could tell and recruiting staff speaks English natively.

Cons

Typical of contract placement, you better be looking for your next job before the contract runs out , because they didn't. My actual contract placement was 2 months shorter than the agreement I signed and I got less than a month's notice that it was ending. It's been close to a year since the last I heard from them.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to value employees better. It seems that permanent lower level employees don't seem to last. Recruiter was gone before the contract was up and HR rep I worked with is gone as well.

Pros

Home work balance, and staff

Cons

Limited career path and upward mobility

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

as a contractor you enjoy flexibility, relatively good pay

Cons

management doesn't show good communication skills , doesn't keep its employees updated about terms of contract and stability
lack of career growth opportunities

Pros

Work life balance...Pay is fair..

Cons

Limited career path and upward mobility... High turn-over

Advice to Senior Management

Be more professional and listen to your current employees..

Pros

I've had a good experience with KForce. They really worked hard to find a job for which I'm well suited. They offer benefits that you can enroll in after 30 days. Best temp agency I ever worked for.

Cons

Well it's a temp agency. So you may end up with a permanent job and you may not. But temps are good when you're in-between jobs and such.

Advice to Senior Management

Give local recruiters access to the generic database your resume feeds into. That way you have a better chance of actually getting placed.
