Customer Service Rep (Former Employee), Montgomery, AL – May 24, 2012
Pros: guaranteed 8 hours a day, insurance available, paid training.
Cons: not much room for advancement, at the time no raises were available.
The company within itself is an overall good company. I worked for a sprint project in which hours were guaranteed and a steady pay rate was guaranteed but there is not much room for advancement of pay. What you start at is pretty much what you will be getting paid the rest of your stay. There is room for some advancement but not much. Definitely not – more... a place you would be able to start a career. Randstad does place you pretty quickly, I will give them that much and are friendly. – less

Worked as a temp associate in Long-term and Short- Term positions as an Administrative Assistant, Executive Assistant, and an Office Manager in various corporate offices and medical research centers

With this being a Temp agency I was able to get a feel of different positions over the time that I worked with them. I was able to deal with a lot of different people that was open to me and that worked with me in all appects of the job.
Great chance for skill enhancement through various positions. Also great for networking.
Receptionist/Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 17, 2012
Pros: flexibility
This is one of the best agencies I have ever worked for. The representatives I have had the pleasure of working with were extremely professional and dedicated to finding me the perfect position that not only fit my skill set, but my personality as well.
Ranstad is known for their fake high wage job postings, they advertise postings with Higher Pay Rates, and then they end up offering you a lower wage position not advertised, you will end up with 2 different agents handling your account, and inform you, while we wait for this "Higher wage" position to become available, we current have this opening, – more... yes pay is less, but as soon as the other one opens up, you'll be eligible.
They will waste your time, I told them on the phone, I was interested in the posting as advertised, and emailed my resume prior to going in, they said, yes this position is still very much available, come in and we will set it up, but sure enough they waste your time and gas, by offering a lower wage position once your there in person.

Financial advisor @Sprint Call Center (Former Employee), montgomery, al – May 15, 2012
Pros: met people; life long friendships
Cons: management lacking
I was not use to working in a telemarketing environment. I felt belittled at times and management treated there employees like they were not important. I knew i could do better. It's definitley not a career atmosphere. overall it is a place were you can decide what you actually want to do with your life.
