Former Employee – worked at Kelly Services as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – - IBM experience can be placed on resume
- Technical requirements low, good starting position
- Initial Contract for one year, can be renewed

Cons – - Kelly Representatives are weak to pressure from IBM management
- Kelly representatives on site are useless for training and employee support, only parrots to whatever IBM representatives tell them
- Position can be terminated at anytime due to no fault of employee
- Jobs have no advancement, no future, no raises
- Very low pay, Hourly pay is at least three dollars lower per hour to what IBM contractors get

Advice to Senior Management – Instead of listening blindly to what IBM management tells, it's best to confirm details as sometimes the IBM management are wrong/misguided/biased

Current Employee – been working at Kelly Services full-time

Pros – Ability to gain international experience and take leadership on high profile projects. Autonomy, flexibility, and exposure to multiple facets of leadership.

Cons – There is no accountability what so ever at the senior leadership level. Although they strive for a culture of innovation, there are multiple new projects, products and focus groups, nothing gets accomplished. It is great to work for a company where you can innovate, but innovation does not mean that everyone gets to do their own thing and leadership is not held to some level of consistency.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire from outside and hold people accountable. It's great that the company has significant tenure, but with long tenure also comes lethargy and pandering to egos.

Current Employee – been working at Kelly Services as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Recruiters were very professional and concerned with how my assignment was working out. Very understanding when I had to resign from the assignment and even offered me other positions.

Cons – The only con was mixup on my first check, no fault of my own, but I had to wait until the following pay period. Luckily, I did not need the money right away or this could have been a problem.

Advice to Senior Management – If there is an error in payroll do not make employees suffer for payroll's mistakes.
