Pros

Best reason is at the branch level on helping people get jobs. Also, the work the company does on social responsibility is good.

Cons

Unethical behavior at senior level, including personal relationships which are going unquestioned. Management does not care about employees and they don't provide any direction or prioritization so everyone runs around doing everything and wasting a lot of money and time. They only care about checking stuff off their to-do lists so they can get their bonuses (and then tell staff to take time off without pay).

Pros

I can’t think of any pros

Cons

I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Manpower during an orientation on April 6, 2026. I arrived early at the job site (around 8:00 AM) and was ready to begin work. Around 9:00 AM, I was wrongly accused of having a body odor issue and was removed from orientation in front of others. This accusation was completely incorrect — I was wearing clean clothes, deodorant, and cologne. The actual source of the odor was another individual, but I was the one singled out and embarrassed. Because of this mistake, I was prevented from starting work and lost a full week of wages. I attempted to resolve the issue by calling shortly after (around 10:38 AM), but no proper resolution was provided, and I was told I would receive a follow-up call that never came. Due to the seriousness of this situation, I have filed formal complaints with the FTC, BBB, and the Illinois Department of Labor regarding lost wages and unprofessional treatment. This situation was handled very poorly and lacked basic professionalism and accountability. Being publicly singled out and removed without proper investigation is unacceptable. I hope the company takes responsibility, addresses this internally, and ensures it does not happen to anyone else.
