      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at Randstad full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Competitive salary, fantastic commission structure and great perks (mobile phone, brand new laptop, ability to work from home, flexible work hours when needed and additional training/courses for high achievers)

      Cons

      Poor management - many are promoted for the wrong reasons and don't have the skill set to manage a team. High expectations - you have to achieve a substantial amount in comparison to other recruitment companies in order to qualify for specific high achieving clubs.

      Advice to Management

      Learn your teams desks and industry and don't do a 'one size fits all' approach as it doesn't work!
