Pros

Amazing company with awesome values! We really have something that is catching on like wild fire. You work family also ends up feeling like your real family. Very tight knit group who works hard but also has fun while doing it. The best work environment I have EVER worked in.

Cons

The company is great, well not great it is amazing and the values and ideas they have are outside the box and in demand! The company is spreading like wild fire. It is growing so fast, it’s grow potential last year was like 300%, and they are trying to keep up with that growth, but it is sacrificing it’s values and the types of employees it wants and needs. When a company like ours tries to grow as fast as we are it ends up sacrificing its core values that sets it apart from other companies and causes recruiters to compromises on the employees they are selecting. When this happens the company values will not be held up. I hope the CEO realizes this and he decides to take a step back and slow down and really concentrate on the employees we are bringing into the fold. Also for the hours worked and the time and energy that is put in by field recruiters that make $15-16 dollars an hour verse $20+ an hour that I used to make is discouraging (salary is NOT $46,000 plus, more like $32,000). We are bringing in the people that make a difference and set records, I just wish our pay reflected how hard we work.
