Pros
Fully remote, unlimited PTO plus many paid holidays and bonus days.
Cons
Cella seemed like a dream when I first started, until the integration with Randstad. It’s inevitable that companies will go downhill from the employer perspective once they are bought by a large corporation. As a recruiter you’ll be held to higher standards than the sales side and ultimately will be punished for their lack of bringing in new jobs. They decided to do a heavy KPI push at one of the slowest times we’ve ever seen, yet never gave us any actual defined goals that we were expected to hit. I was let go due to my position being eliminated after we were told over and over not to worry and that cella wouldn’t be doing layoffs. When asked if I had any questions the only one I had, what the criteria was for deciding who was let go, was unable to be answered. Yet I’m told that leadership told everyone else their decisions were based on performance and tenure. I couldn’t help but notice that the majority of us who were let go are single moms, primary providers for our families and have little ones at home with us during the day. Many people lower on the KPI report than myself and others who were let go were not affected. Cella is not transparent like they claim to be and if they tell you they “have your back”, they don’t.
