Not a company with professional leaders. Many leaders are in it for themselves and not the overall success of their market. When morales need boosted, parties and alcohol are the "quick fix", yet the problem is never actually solved or even recognized. Culture is designed to be fun and open with great work/life balance, however the culture is dramatic and gossipy. Would not recommend to anyone who wants to stay with their company long term...This is definitely not a company for everyone, I saw a lot of turnover during my short time here. Reports were sent over to entire offices on co-workers activity, sometimes highlighting names of those who were "suffering". In office competitions against co-workers, who are supposed to be teammates, for petty office items that all should be provided with (taken seriously by manger). Keep in mind, every market is different, with different leadership styles.

1. The base salary is not even close to livable. In an industry like staffing where you have some major ups, major downs, and it takes a while to get off your feet, you need a little stability and they don't provide it 2. While the culture is fun, sometimes it simply feels like you are in a frat which can be too much at times. Additionally they preach culture all the time and it does not always show up when you are in the office 3. If you don't go with the rest of the office, you will not survive. Its basically a requirement to go to happy hours, office outings, etc. If you don't then you essentially will be out of the main click. It is also very apparent when handing out new accounts or when someone leaves, those that conform get the good ones 4. They talk about opportunity for growth but is basically a cloud of smoke. There's a major difference between growth and opportunity to make money. As people grow and stay with the company longer, give them additional responsibilities to truly foster that professional;y growth instead of having them do the same thing over and over for months or years at a time. 5. Preach work/life balance but if you aren't coming in early or staying late then you get called out essentially. If you want people to work some unconventional hours, then maybe give them options of coming in a little later and staying late or vice versa.
