The staffing industry is tough as it is - that will be the case anywhere you go. Long hours, disappointment because most situations are out of your control, and it doesn’t have a good reputation to prospective candidates or clients.
However, there are some companies that try and make up for it by treating you well, recognizing when you go above and beyond, etc. Medix is not one of those companies.
The Branch Manager was verbally abusive and made you feel like you were a child. He was sexist and only showed a likeness to you if you responded to his flirting. Men in the office said some of the most disgusting things I ever heard a man say about about women and if you wanted to stay out of drama, you said nothing. If you would ever say anything about this behavior, you would be looked at as being over dramatic because the people with any power are all males.
If you work hard enough and get lucky, you can see a lot of success. If that success drops (as it will, unless you’re in a big market like Chicago), you will be treated like you’re worthless. Rather than supporting and encouraging your employees, you talk about repercussions and hint that being let go is an option if you don’t improve in a certain amount of time. Threats might work on some but not everyone.
I could go on for days about how horrible this experience is, but I’ll stop there. Stay away.
