Pros

I worked at a large Auto Manufacturer for over 11 years as a Kelly employee, Yes they found me a great job,,,, hoping to get my foot in the door prove myself and perhaps get hired in. Nope! Keep in mind when you read the rest that I loved this job and the people that I worked with. However, like they say why buy the cow if you can get the milk super cheap. Well, If you want to find a good job at a big company this is a good plan... as long as you don't mind feeling like an indentured slave. Kelly pays your check, of course taking thier cut, no benefits to speak of, and no help from them at all. Also, keep in mind when you are a contract employee at a big company doing the same work as "regular" employees, be prepared to be treated like the red haired step child.

Cons

Now laid off and trying to get back in the job market after 4 years off the job, at Kelly things have changed, I found it extremely difficult to find and talk to a live person to help on the job search. Everything is done electronically and the follow up was terrible. I think all the reps that a person used to be able to call are themselves contract with the company and high turnover.

Pros

Flexible work schedule during the week and the ability to plan based on teachers putting in PTO and putting it on the calendar. The use of the computer to select dates of employment and to put in timecard information is intuitive. Having an app to look at when not at a computer to see job opportunities is also convenient. Communication from Kelly is awesome.

Cons

Schools not needing substitutes during the summer break. Not knowing what number Kelly is contacting me from for short notice opportunities.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
