Pros

Large company with lots of resources available and good benefits.

Cons

So large that development and talent tends to get overlooked. If you want to be promoted, be willing to relocate.

Pros

Manpower offered a great pay rate compared to other temporary agencies I had worked for. Although my job did not turn into full-time, I liked it a lot.

Cons

I was not able to get hired on throught the company I was working for, but it was because of the economic decline.

Used to be the best staffing firm in the world, but failed to properly manage company-owned branch offices in the USA.

Business Outlook

Pros

60 years of expertise in the industry, used to be a major innovator in large scale staffing services. Had excellent resources. Used to have first rate training programs. Used to hire the best people in the industry. Has been run by three very smart CEOs. Has one of the very few universally recognized brand names in the staffing industry. Has a very impressive foot hold in many countries outside of North America.

Cons

The CEO was too busy on long range global projects to mind the store with the USA branch operations. Franchise operations, which operate on several continents had management teams that were much more accountable, produced revenue consistently. But the corporate-owned branch operations in the USA were, for many years, crippled by teams of inept senior managers who weren't fired fast enough, causing the massive loss of their best talent. A corporate culture that demanded deference to anyone with a Director or higher title guaranteed that the complacent stayed in charge. Although in recent years, the corporation made changes, throwing out some of the worst managers, the damage was done, with market share within the USA markedly reduced.
