Pros

I was at Epitec just under a year and I titled my review as challenging because that's exactly what it was. The role of the recruiter is tough; you have to be able to find the right talent at the right time and that can be challenging. Then even though you have identified and screened the candidate you have to be able to sell that candidate to your account manager. I learned to really enjoy the challenge of this, but it took some time,.

Cons

Even though you feel you have done everything on your end there is still a lot that can happen that you do not have control over. I have had orders close on me just as I was about to get a candidate submitted, I have people not be able to pass the background check, and I have had candidates get conte-roffers that I could not compete with. But through all of this I learned that I have to be through, organized and not afraid to ask tough questions to my candidates and my account managers.

Pros

Up to date technology (but why wouldn't there be for a small corporate office staff) Free coffee, tea, water (but this can be found at most companies) Free food (nothing healthy or promoting employee health/wellness)

Cons

Epitec has to be the most unprofessional company out there. It is ran by an executive management team that has 0 experience with any other company, and with no concept of how a real business operates. I would love to see how they each would do in another setting outside of Epitec. How can an executive management team be compromised of a couple friends with no outsider insight? You will not find anyone hired into management that has experience prior to Epitec. And if they do, they end up leaving just the same as recruiters. The "successful" managers are born and bred from within and mock the unethical actions of the executive management team. From swearing, gossiping, and reaping all of the benefits and high wages while the rest make little to nothing. Each and every single employee is a chess piece and moved as they see fit. People are thrown into positions without consent that they do not even have the proper education/training for. Everything is masked by "fake" happiness to lure you in and keep you working until the spell finally wears off. There will be a fake, nice, response to this review by stating there is a "MUSCLE" acronym that is used in the hiring process. The hiring process is honestly a huge joke and so is the elementary school "MUSCLE concept". It will also be stated to voice your concerns with the COO. However, if you were ever to voice your concern on the job, you would immediately be let go. Oh and the best response has to be the promotion of Epitec being "A best and brightest company to work for". Little does everyone know that award is something that Epitec pays for. Real companies are too busy practicing ethically instead of tying to find every award they can think of to mask their unethical practices. The turnover rate of recruiters, HR and even experienced managers is disturbing. People leave by the hour and it is all for all the same reasons. Please do not waste your time, education and credentials even applying to this place. I feel for all of the people still there, drinking the koolaid until it wears off. Same goes to contractors- find another agency to assist you with your career!

Pros

Free food. Rewards during training. Epitec has been an excellent stepping stone for some of my former colleagues. If you're in HR, this may be a great company to cut your teeth on. You'd get a great density of hirings and firings! Plenty of practice writing and analyzing resumes, which will come in handy with your own.

Cons

Before you read, please understand that prior to Epitec I'd held internships at multiple fortune 500 companies and have seen how successful companies operate from structural, cultural, and developmental standpoints. Beware. The marketing is solid, the appeal and environment are well suited to the recent college graduate. The building is nice, but unfortunately the aesthetics were just that... superficial. I was ecstatic to take the job, and was actually ready for a long and worthwhile relationship with the company, I wanted to buy in. I was fresh out of college was couldn't believe I got an interview so quickly. When the first person in my training group was fired, we were all shocked. Then there was a second... and a third. The strange part was that these people were doing very well, better than most actually. I'd call it random but that's a stretch. To add to the mystery, these people said that during their exit interview, when asked "why was I fired", management stated "we are an at-will company and do not need to disclose that". After one of my newer 'friends' was let go, I was afraid of being fired every single day. By the time I left by my own will, out of 11 people in my recruiting class, 2 had remained. Why I lasted so long I have no idea. People who were outperforming me had been let go. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the leadership meetings to see how this company is truly structured.
