What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

That they are leaders who get stuff done

They listen and value your input

They really empower people with positive vibes and lessons

Accessible and able to be met with.

Good people but a bit disorganized

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

They need to support their employees better and not immediately take sides of the accuser. They also need to learn some negotiation skills, so the accusers have to admit their part of the problem and take corrective actions. The mangers always need to talk to their employees in a professional way.

Leadership needs to get better at supporting their employees. My direct manager was great, anyone above him took weeks to respond to a simple email which is in everyone's BASIC FUNCTIONS and REQUIRED TASKS EACH DAY! Absolutely the most unprofessional leadership I've ever seen.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Taking care of their underpaid labor

Not coming behind and on the sides of the workers folding their arms watching them work. Please stop bothering them all the time about pull up your mask, glasses while workers are hard at work

The leadership team is exclusively male. They surround themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear and not qualified professionals.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Bonuses were generous based on performance

Being placed with a very good company

The variety of benefits for my needs

Earning at my comfort zone

Hoping salary,overtime and benifets and weekends

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

It would make me feel better if I was actually compensated. Sure when I'm able to work and the equipment is doing fine everythings great, the moment it isn't, you're basically out of a job. There are many states that prevent that with being scheduled for the day, and this company breaks those laws.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Not paid in market rate, and health, stock, and leave benefits leave much to be desired

Gettinf paid even within 10k of my peers. Gettinf actual time off and benefits

I need benefits like 401k, health insurance, personal time off and more than a week vacation over a certain amount of years. If not 401k then pension of some kind.

Compensation is need based and not performance driven.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

We all like to actually help. We all want to grow. And we're all here for Kelly, regardless of how little support they help us with.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The team is amazing, so they deserve amazing pay and benefits.

Understanding, loyal,helpful, supportive, kind, knowledgeable

We work extremely well together

Very cooperative and well manared

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

They need to be professional , give better directions and follow all safety precautions, and accept all people regardless of their political views.

Their compensation is not good so they cannot keep employees

They are all just a bunch of friends that have worked together for many years and are not qualified for their senior leadership roles and their insecurities drive dishonesty and a culture of false illusions. It's all about who you know and are friends with rather than how good you are at your job.

Review from Operations Dept

They were fine not at all bad to me

Review from Product Dept

I don't even know who my coworkers are most of the time.

Review from Product Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

It is fun to work with students

We get to work with children and they are usually fun to work with and it is rewarding to teach.

I have nothing to add here.

Review from Communications Dept

I dont have anything for this.

Environment is great due to great teamwork.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

If they followed state laws and paid employees properly when their equipment doesn't work.

Review from Customer Support Dept

When you are a contractor and not an actual employee at the company you work at you're always treates like an outsider and not part of the team you work with

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

Everything, from the treatment of the employees to the understanding the employees are then able to provide to customers because at the end of the day no one wants to work for a company that constantly denies you basic human rights.

Review from Customer Support Dept

There has been at least five restructures at Kelly in the last year and a half and they don't seem to know who they are or who they want to be. Major identity crisis!

Review from Operations Dept

Once your assignment has ended its like you don't exist.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I just don't like subbing. It is not satisfying. I will be mistreated by students and by most staff, depending on the district. Especially Liberty Public Schools. Very unwelcoming to subs.

Review from Product Dept

High workload due to understaffing, frequent system errors and outages, high turnover, over-reliance on customer surveys (i.e. being penalized when a customer is upset at the company), having to clock out to use the restroom outside of scheduled breaks.
