Pros

None. They seem professional at the beginning. They try to make it seem that way. The training does not prepare you for what is ahead.

Cons

Do not trust any management. They tell their employees to go on glass door and add a review. Management is most of the positive comments. And it's amusing how Mark responds to all the negative ones. Trying to save his job. No other company is responding to these constantly. If you were a good moral company you wouldn't have to constantly respond to all the negative comments. You will see all the positive ones in bunches. What a joke. Give it up. This company has the highest turnover of any staffing company around in MI. Please pass on this company. There are plenty other ones who will train and value those who want to learn.

At Epitec we care about our reputation and how we behave as an organization. Being successful takes grit and determination and requires focus and persistence. Epitec addresses the negative comments directly. Because we are humble, we have learned a few good lessons along the way. However, we remain committed to forging on past those that would wish us harm and helping our employees fulfill their dreams. Epitec strives to be a company that people want to work for and companies want to do business with. We are a professional staffing company, "accent on professional", and we work very hard to outperform our competition and provide superior service.

Pros

During training there is free food. They used to have a good set up with training but changed a few things and now some of the new recruiters could learn a bit more with some of the processes. C-levels are friendly. Some can say that its a bit micromanaged but the goals are very much achievable, if you just do your job. I will say that management can be too quick to turn to judgement on people. They should pay more.

Cons

There is two offices, Addison and Michigan. The Addison office is the step-child in the relationship. They do not have input on most things and are not shared the same information. One of the employees was supposed to be recognized for "top-gun" or "kudos" depending on which one term they wanted to use. Well he didn't end up getting it because they either just changed the rules or the rules were not fully explained to the Addison office. Just an example of the Addison office not getting the same love. The benefits suck unless you are in Michigan. For a single person outside of Michigan you will be paying $300 a month. They use Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, another reason why Addison is the step-child, plus all of the employees that are working nationally have to pay allot. The reason I was cut was because I did not sign a corporate training reimbursement form. They were going to send me and another Account Manager to Michigan for a sales training. Which I was perfectly fine with and would have loved to go on the trip to learn more and gain knowledge from my coworkers and a two day course. Then I received this email that seemed a tad bit threatening but not bad, just more of a shock, regarding the training reimbursement form. A few of the other Account Managers were not happy about it but we had to wait on the form to see what it said. The form stated that if Epitec were to terminate me with cause or if I were to leave with or without cause within 12 months then I would have to pay the cost of the training (which would have been about 2 1/4 paychecks). It did say that Epitec is investing in us, which doesn't make any sense if over a year I am going to be paying for it. These forms are not unheard of. One of the Account Managers stepped down to become a recruiter again because of it. A few more Account Managers in Michigan didn't want to sign it either but eventually had to. The only two Account Managers in Addison were let go. Now they did say that the reason for letting me go was misalignment of company culture. I am not explaining this because I am bitter that they let me go, but I am better because they let me go.

Building, Training and Developing teams to meet Delivery objectives is a critical departmental goal for Epitec's Delivery teams. Epitec engaged Visualize, the leading provider of the ValueSelling Framework, to provide training that would generate more opportunities for our sales team and for the company. We were disappointed that a few Sales team members did not see the value in this training. The investment to Epitec was more than $7500 per trainee, not including travel expenses. Epitec requested that the Sales team sign an agreement for less than half the cost of the training ($3,000) to be recouped only if they "voluntarily left the company". Then, the employee would agree to pay back the pro-rated amount of training dollars. For example it they resigned 6 months after the training was provided, then the employee would pay back 1/2 the training or 1/2 of $3000 = $1500. Epitec needed to know which Sales team members were invested in the training. The entire amount was paid by Epitec and only a portion would be based on retention of the employee. Epitec invests in its employees and believes in continuous training - it is cultural to the organization. We are a learning organization and training is core to learning and continuous improvement.

Pros

Having unlimited opportunity to help grow the business and make an impact. You'll work with some of the smartest people in the staffing industry. Significant investment in recruiting tools, marketing and promotion resources and training. Performance expectations are fair, work environment is exceptionally functional and they have built a really solid employee experience program to recognize and reward both internal and external employees. Client base is 5 star -- top auto, manufacturing, telecom, tech, energy, healthcare, insurance and retail!! Great place to start and build your career!

Cons

The Corp environment is not for everyone, some may struggle with certain roles especially sales oriented tasks if your not use to being on the phones 3-4 hours per day, engaging prospects to discuss opportunities and negotiating and working in a team environment.
