Pros

They offered a good benefits package. 100 percent employer paid as well as RRSP plan.

Cons

They have the worst salaries in the industry. The upper management is so concerned with sales and revenue that they forget about people on the front lines. Their competition offers so much more in terms of compensation and growth that Manpower is losing so much market share.

Pros

The brand. The Manpower brand has a global reach. They teach great skills at their Head Quarters in Milwaukee, WI. The vision, the culture, the process - it's all top notch. They are leaders in the world of staffing and are becoming one of the growing players in permanent placement/direct hire as well. I love the tools that are provided such as the on-line training development centre and the branded collateral. Manpower has established itsself as an authority on the staffing industry and continually produces white papers to provide all sectors of industry information on staffing trends.

Cons

When working for a franchise, there is too much opportunity for ambiguity in policy. I would like to see the local policy allign with the corporate policy more. I would also like to have seen more training in the beginning. The training I received was good, but there were key components that I think every direct hire recruiter needs to learn before really working a full desk. I was frustrated at times with this process. This company is going through change which always magnifies weaknesses. If you are not new to the industry, it would be easier to come on board.
