Pros

No pros to report for this company.

Cons

I met with the recruiter for approximately 10 minutes when she told me I was "brazen" and she would not be able to find anything for me. I hardly see this as professional. Obviously there was something about me she had a problem with, however, it could have been handled more professionally.

Pros

It's a job and they deal with the client for you. That's about it.

Cons

I worked for Express and I REALLY needed a job. They paid under going rate, but I had a job. I noticed those around me disappear overnight without warning. No communication, no extra training outside what was required by the client, etc. The pay for the IT positions that Express is advertising across the US is below sub-par. Seeing Tier 3 positions advertised at Junior Tier 1 Salary just shows greed and taking advantage of those in serious need of jobs. They never paid well and they pay worse now. Look elsewhere if you can.

Pros

Each office was franchised which means that the owner was on site. This was extremely beneficial because decisions regarding changing a particular process or procedure could be made immediately. But, we also had the support structure of a corporation which allowed us to handle the hundreds of employees we placed with ease. There was a small staff, so all accomplishments were felt and praised by the entire team. The work environment was positive and fast paced; there was never a dull moment. At times, the work was so fast paced that an entire work day would fly by. Overall, I really loved working at Express.

Cons

There was room for advancement, but at a very slow pace- and it may require moving to a different location in order to make any real advancements. My particular branch was family owned, so some of the staff were members of the owner's family. At times, this made for an uncomfortable work environment because it was difficult to point out mistakes in a tactful manner. The hours were also not ideal for a "night person". 7am to 4pm was usually a little too early for me. There were also almost no opportunities for overtime, even when it was warranted.
