Overall good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers, plenty of work, satisfaction of getting people to work. Exposure to a variety of computer software and systems. Lots of job training. Overall great job satisfaction and great not dreading going to work.

Cons

Most hires are considered "internal temps" for a long time with expensive benefits and no paid time off. Getting hired on can be arbitrary and some of the best employees don't get hired on for years. The process for being hired on permanently can take several months as it is not considered a priority. Management is quick to reprimand and uses this often as a way to justify not providing raises or benefits (great employees with great performance get scolded for miniscule mistakes).

The ability to place others into good jobs and know you are making a difference in their lives is positively immeasurable! Offered quality assignments to temps and successfully negotiated temp-to-perm opportunities for successful long-term employment.

Leadership didn't provide training or support. Manpower branches felt disjointed and not connected to home operations.

Manpower Response

10y

I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with Manpower. As one of the world’s largest recruitment agencies, and an employer of more than 30,000 people here in the UK, I can assure you that we take our responsibilities to our employees very seriously. Among our commitments is to always be open and honest about the duties, expected hours and length of assignment on offer. While many employees enjoy the flexibility offered by zero hours contracts, I appreciate that they do not suit everyone’s circumstances. However, your comment regarding holiday concerns me as all Manpower employees are entitled to benefits including annual leave; these are protected under your employment rights. If something has gone wrong with our processes and standards, I would welcome the opportunity to investigate your situation fully and kindly ask that you email me via press.office@manpower.co.uk in order to do so.
