Pros

Some team members are lovely to work with if you get lucky but not the management.

Cons

If you care about your mental health, Resource Solutions is not the place for you. This company stands out as one of the worst to work for. Employees who conform to arbitrary business needs are valued far more than those who put in genuine hard work. This toxic environment undermines dedication and rewards superficiality. The result is a constant turnover of employees and clients, as the company struggles to retain either. Resource Solutions' disregard for the well-being and satisfaction of their staff and clients is evident in their revolving door of departures. Prospective employees and clients should seriously reconsider any association with this company. As an MSP and talent solution provider, Resource Solutions fails to meet even basic standards of respect and reliability. They do not value their employees or clients, making them an unreliable and unsatisfactory partner.

Good company to work for when the market is good but employment is not secure when there's low demand

Pros

As a Workforce Consultant (WFC), there are opportunities for experiencing different clients and sharing best practice and trends amongst consultants.

Cons

Job insecurity - Workforce Consultants (WFC) employees are terminated when client stops the project/programme at short notice and there's low demand with other clients, i.e. not permanent employment as it is totally dependent upon client approval of consultants and continued availability of project/programme work/assignments.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I’m glad to read that you enjoyed the variety in the role and the collaborative workplace culture. Teamwork and a focus on excellence in service delivery are core to the way do business. Workforce Consultancy is designed to offer a high level of flexibility for both our clients and the consultants working for them, we run a structured re-deployment process with bench time in-between assignments. Across our broad portfolio of clients, we always strive to find a range of opportunities for consultants to move into. That being said, we are always open to feedback and, if you’d like, you can reach out to me on jessica.holt@robertwalters.com we can arrange a confidential call to discuss your feedback.
