Good to get your foot in the door, but not a long-term commitment

Employment specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Good exposure to how interviews are conducted, what the job market is like, what recruiters look for in candidates, etc. -Learning what your clients (companies) do with their jobs, and developing strong relations and connections to these contacts in a professional setting -Entry-level, though a bit of a learning curve if it's the first professional job you're getting into

Cons

-Poor management expectations, often leading to feeling unsupported at times or overworked -Numbers-driven (can be good or bad depending on the employee. Some people are motivated by it, some dread it...I'm in the latter, sadly) -Lack of room for growth -Points like these can lead to inconsistency and high turnover in the workplace

Not bad; not good

Pros

Straightforward work; get to be out in the field all day. Networking, meeting lots of people. Good training.

Cons

Not many good paying jobs wants to work with a talent agency. Each Express franchise has it's own way of running things, but they all share 1 reputation, and the owners don't seem to get that. If one location hires for crap jobs, then businesses assume they all do and don't wanna work with us. Most the people in my office have a highschool mentality, including the owners.

Absolutely Irritating

Business Outlook

Pros

They seem eager to help you gain employment (at first) First assignment was (as the employment professional put it) chill and the environment seemed lax

Cons

You have to stay on them when it comes to communication, gainful employment, and new job prospects. I was terminated from my first assignment after taking three days leave to volunteer on a missing persons search party (I chose to keep it vaguely stated as "volunteering" so as to not discuss the case). Yet, this was negotiated upon assignment (so I was lead to believe). I received a text the morning of my first day volunteering, that my assignment had ended. Afterwards, there was a minimal effort to find another job. I had to spam the office in the Denver metro area several times daily, until I just gave up and cut the middle-man out of the picture. If there are so many jobs in America, then why in the hell is it so hard to get one??
