Pros

- Still in Findlay, for now. (until things move to Orlando) - It is a job.

Cons

- Management is sneaky and does things behind our backs. There is no transparency within this organization. - Uneasy feeling among employees and no feeling of stability about the future of the office within the Findlay, OH location. - Either promotes from within without a raise or will hire externally and bring in someone new to the RPO/recruiting field starting at about approx. $25,000 - $30,000/yr more than others performing the same job. - There are opportunities for promotion within, but the company does not pay. The company feels that the employees working here are not "good enough" at their jobs to deserve career advancements. - Lack of raises and a bonus structure except for those at the very top of the company scale. - Dealing with ungrateful clients. This is more of a glorified babysitter job than it is a consultant to the hiring managers. - There is a major lack of recognition within the company for the job(s) being performed, and an overall lack of guidance for its employees. It is easier to point fingers and blame than it is to help correct and solve the problems.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
