Manpower reviews

While it is a job, as an associate you have to deal with the pitfalls of being a contingent employee. 1. The pay is very low for most if not all positions compared to the permanent position. 2. The client company avoids all legal obligations and ethical obligations by having the temp agency serve as an intermediary. They don't have to offer insurance, vacations, etc. 3. There is an indefinite period of time for being considered being hired by the client company as a permanent employee, all in exchange for being over-leveraged. 4. Transparency and disclosure is very weak. The client company does not have to provide a performance evaluation. 5. Not the ideal company for an entry-level professional (such as an individual with a 4 year engineering degree).

Other than working in RPO which basically means you often work yourself out of a job (recruiting in general) no complaints.
