Pros

I've been working for firstPRO for quite some time now and I am very proud of our growth and the limited turn over our teams have experienced in the past 3 years. I am proud of the relationships we have build with job seekers and companies all over the Philadelphia region. firstPRO offers all the tools you need to be be successful in recruiting and they achieve their success in a very ethical way. Working here as afforded a great career path for those who work hard and exceed expectations.

Cons

My experience has been so extremely positive working at firstPRO that it's difficult to pin point a "con" We are a company that recruits to support management and human resource staff directly and tend to avoid business that is managed using a VMS not allowing those relationships to be developed. If you look to run a VMS business, our model would not be the best place for you at this present time.

Pros

Small Company environment. Good office location.

Cons

1. Management Relationships: It has come to my attention that there is a personal relationship between the owner and a lower-level employee, which raises potential concerns regarding professionalism and workplace dynamics, particularly given the significant age difference. This situation may inadvertently create perceptions of favoritism within the team. 2. Leadership Competence: There appears to be a lack of direction and understanding among upper management regarding effective operational practices. This has led to a workplace environment that can feel disorganized and unstructured. 3. Work Environment: The overall atmosphere may be likened to a "small-town" mentality, where casual interactions often overshadow professional standards. While a friendly environment can be beneficial, it may sometimes result in a lack of accountability and seriousness in business operations. 4. Training and Development: There seems to be a significant deficit in training for employees, particularly in areas such as sales techniques and recruitment processes. Current management practices do not seem to prioritize employee development, with an emphasis placed on external events instead of investing in the workforce's skills and resources. 5. Performance and Advancement: It appears that employees may feel compelled to engage in excessive flattery to secure their positions, which can undermine a culture of meritocracy and professional growth.
