Manpower Reviews

Pros

Salary will always be delivered to all employees at Manpower plus there is a bonus for buying basic food every month.

Cons

The business model for Manpower is good but is at the expense of employees suffering, because every year you will get only 6 days of vacations, it doesn't matter if you have been working for more than 5 years or 10.

Pros

Smart Peoplel, great leadership and forward thinkers

Cons

People are too busy, need more sales support staff, negotiating ManpowerGroup globally is a challenge

Advice to Senior Management

More support to the feet on the street sales people

Pros

Big company, lots of projects, innovative

Cons

sometimes out of touch, too many procedures, middle management is often in a closed mindset

Advice to Senior Management

bring on board younger people.

Pros

Great benefits package (Medical and Dental)

Cons

Extremely unorganized, unprofessional, no proper procedures in place or streamlined processes. Constantly given conflicting information. Staffing Specialists have so much on their plates, they are abused, and greatly underpaid. Company doesn't care about the front line staff and doesn't care about turnover. There is no incentive plans, no regular salary reviews, no proper training, nor team building activities. Follow-up from HR and other departments take days to receive. No opportunities for advancement, your work is not recognized by Head Office, because they don't know you and don't care what you've done. Going above and beyond is a waste of effort, because it gets you no where. We have too much admin, sales, and other waste of time activities on our plates that remove us from the real work...RECRUITMENT. Clients are always unhappy with us (and they express it to us) because there is so much turnover causing them to constantly meet new Recruiters who don't understand their needs. You're whole day is wasted because you are bombarded with phone calls, payroll issues, invoicing questions, and hundreds of other requests, and not to mention working with an extremely SLOW database that wastes so much time!

Advice to Senior Management

Fix all the cons listed above and you'd have a much better organization with happier employees, happier clients, and minimal turnover.

Pros

Flexibility with my work schedule
