Pros

-Good coworkers, wouldn't have lasted as long as I did without them -Dogs in the office -Good training -Potential to make good money if you're in the top 1% and you suck up enough to the CEO

Cons

-Extremely toxic and immature culture - managers belittle and talk down to employees on a regular basis. The culture is extremely young so there's a ton of gossip and politics. -Promotions are based on popularity opposed to performance and the promotion/comp plan changed several times during my time there -CEO is the most manipulative and insensitive human I've ever worked for. Blatantly lied about Covid layoffs and fired half our team for "performance issues". For the record I wasn't laid off but simply quit because I couldn't deal with it anymore -Micromanagement is the worst I've ever experienced - be prepared to check in with your manager every 30 minutes on your activity. A job could be posted at 8am and recruiters will be pinged at 8:30am asking why they haven't submitted any candidates yet. Better yet, a job could be posted at 5pm and you will be expected to stay as late as possible until you find a candidate -Company has zero ethics. They will do whatever it takes to get the sale even if that means lying to the client or candidate. -Zero work life balance. I'm totally fine staying late and putting in my dues but you're expected to be online from 7am-7pm most days and you'll be chewed out if you don't respond to an after hours email. You will constantly be asked to work on the weekends and you will have Sunday scaries as early as Saturday morning. -Mental health is a HUGE issue here. Instead of fixing the problems, i.e. poor leadership, unrealistic expectations, belittling employees, etc. they instead give you a subscription to a meditation app. What a joke. -At the end of the day this is a turn and burn staffing company. They don't hire anyone with staffing experience because they want to "groom" kids fresh out of college. Inevitably what happens is those kids come in bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to grind, and they are fired/quit in 6 months. So they just go and pluck a new naive fresh grad and the cycle continues. -Don't waste your time unless you're absolutely desperate. There are hundreds of other staffing firms to work for that offer uncapped commission.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

I decided I’m sick of seeing the fake 5 star reviews. This place will tear you down, expect unrealistic metrics that don’t translate to anything, and it was an insanely toxic environment. I would not recommend working here to my worst enemy. I get why companies and hiring managers don’t work with them ever again. If you think of applying look at turnover and the amount they hire across all offices. Went to other staffing companies and realized how insane they operate it’s almost comical
