      My Recruiter Laura V.
      is the best she worked very hard to find me the job that had the pay scale I was looking for. Plus she checked in with me on a two week basis to see how everything was going.. She deserves a raise..

      Pros

      Opportunity to grow, location, upcapped commission

      Cons

      No real quarterly events or holiday parties, can't work from home, very numbers driven, most approvals need to go three levels above your direct manager, schedules conference calls to have conference calls, no raises

    5. "Best Job I've Ever Had"

      I have been working at Randstad US full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      -Work Environment: The most fun I've ever been in and very positive
      -Good base salary
      -Good benefits
      -Great training program and mentorship

      Cons

      -Inconsistent with respect to rewarding and providing resources to successful branches and company divisions.
      -No base remote options

      Advice to Management

      -Keep your successful branches happy and address their needs. Less-successful branches should never have resources and perks that their counterparts don't.

      -Offer some moderate remote options to newer employees if they're performing well. It is reasonable to allow one remote day a week (even to new employees) if they are performing well.

      I worked at Randstad US part-time

      Pros

      Employment is great, but when I moved it created a problem going to work on a bus route that wasn't easily accessible for me.

      Cons

      Retrieving W2 information is a huge problem.

      Advice to Management

      To employee's add up all of your paystubs gross, federal withholding, social security and the last deduction separately.
      You should have gross, federal withholding, and the two other tiers of withholding separate of each other. I found the ein from a prior years tax return.
