Pros

A company focused on growth and progress in a fast-paced environment that will help you develop hard skill. However, there are a lot of companies out there that provide this same benefit without the scare-tactics, unreasonable pressure and ungodly politics within this organization, which will make you hate your job and probably life.

Cons

The average tenure at mondo is only a few months. There's a very good reason for this - in fact, there are many. It's not people who didn't try hard enough, or weren't cut out for the job. The guise of a fast-paced, active growing organization is a facade to cover up one that is riddled with unreasonable expectations, cringe-worthy passive-aggressive management power struggles, a disconnected CEO who turns a blind eye to awful treatment of workers by managers, and a business model that consists of an inefficient process of pumping out calls/email to HR people to boil the ocean to a few clients who are later disappointed because their needs are not fulfilled due to under-trained recruiters that know nothing about the industries they resource for. In effect, the business is a one stop shop that spins it's wheels to add on new clients because they don't retain the old ones. Too much turnover and under qualified staff wreaks havoc on the cornerstone of this kind of business: fulfilling the clients' needs. There's a distinct difference between a fast paced environment and sink or swim. Furthermore, I'd like to confirm most of the positive reviews are in fact fake by employees who create them under scare tactics, myself included. Notice how every positive review follows a negative one and directly references the negativities specified. Someone says management in Dallas sucks (it does), then one follows that says management is tough but fair (it's not). Many reviews talk of great benefits as they will to you. Fun fact! Virtually all of the attractive perks don't kick in until 3+ years at the organization which only a few people have reached and they're all VPs. You'll find out about the tenure requirements for these perks... after you start. Hold out for an offer from an established organization - if Mondo is considering you, you'll get one. The only thing worse than the Mondo working environment is the outlook for the business, which is now struggling to stay afloat, cutting corners left and right - let alone achieve 40% yoy growth. Stay tuned for the 4-5 star rating to immediately follow this one which will iron out all of the above with fluff.

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
