Please help me to evaluate my offers! Am I being stupid?

Hi, I got an offer to work 6 months for a staffing company names RANDSTAD.



Now the positive thing is that the billing company I will be work for has a good reputation and it is minimum commute. The down side is I've heard horrible experience with staffing company like they will treat you bad after you sign the contract, higher tax at the year end and the billing company will used temps like a work machine, or you will have difficulty being integrated with the permanent workers there.

This is not my only option and I also have 2 other offers from big companies, permanent position, but 1h commute. Compensation and job functions are almost the same. I know people will find choice 2 much better, but I hate driving, appreciate the 2 hours I can save for my personal life everyday and I don't have difficulty to find another permanent job after the temp is over. However, if these stories about staffing, temp jobs are true, I will definitely drive 2hs everyday to get my bread.

I really need your expert opinion!!!Thanks so much!!

How can you go for a good reputation if your colleagues are lousy.

Be self aware, then you will never have to choose!

Hi,

 

Staffing sevices are better overall though they are still impersonal for their own sanity.

It looks like your answer is in the last few lines of your note. What you value most, that you can try the temp gig and change to another opportunity when you need to and that you are clear in your skills and talents.

Hope this adds clarity -- feel free to ask for more detail.

Be Well,

 David
