KellyMitchell Group Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Pros

I was contacted initially by a recruiter on Linkedin. I felt like they were on my side and working hard to find a job for me, which is a nice feeling after being on the job market for a while. I was turned down from the initial position I interviewed with the contracting company for, but Kelly Mitchell didn't stop there. They took the time to look for other positions and found a few more to present me for within hours. I ended up getting another interview and landed the position! Without their help, I may well still be looking for a new job. Although it is a contract position, I felt like they helped me see the pros and were very clear about compensation and benefits from the get go. They are very confident the contracts get extended beyond the initial period and do not stop the company from converting you to full time, at any point. I feel like honesty and candidness was met with the same throughout the whole process. The recruiter kept me informed throughout the process and was willing to talk about things and ask questions at any point.

Cons

A semi-con*: It is a contract position. But from the start, the recruiter was very, very open and forthcoming with all the information and details about how the contract would work and benefits, etc. The benefits aren't the greatest, but that is somewhat okay because the upside of opportunity is the biggest benefit in and of itself. I was over compensated to cover the non subsidized insurance premiums, and that included quite a substantial raise as well.

Pros

Kelly Mitchell group does a good job of finding positions that match your interests and skills. Good pre and post interview preperation Very friendly and helpful staff at the Minneapolis location They seem to care about you as a person and not just another seat to fill (followups throughout contract to make sure you are happy) Work with some larger well known companies in the Minneapolis area Decent benefit package (health, dental, 401K) should you choose it.

Cons

Not very aggressive in finding another placement after a contract ends Not super well known by other companies in Minneapolis They mostly work on contract and contract to hire positions, no perm placement

Pros

Everybody is always very friendly and easy to work with. Account manager always engaged and interested in your work. Holidays/Vacations, OT pay, etc. much better than most other contract companies I've ever heard about!

Cons

Benefit package could be better in some aspects. Only 2 sick days per year is bad. Also they do offer a 401k package but there is no company match for it so it's almost pointless... A Roth IRA or something can be a better option!
