Pros

I have been working for Focus Staff for under a year, and have never felt more myself as a person and employee like I do here. Focus offers great opportunity for growth, great benefits, pay and an extremely fun and positive environment. I am consistently praised for my hard work, which in return makes me want to work harder for my employer. In addition, work/life balance has never been present in my previous positions and I can truly say the flexibility is present and appreciated.

Cons

I do not have any at this time

Focus Staff is a Farce

Pros

-You learn a lot about the traveling healthcare industry -Cool looking office -Business casual attire

Cons

-This company is all about the exterior looks, what is inside the interior is hollow. What you get sold on in that initial promising interview quickly turns into a disappointing sham after three weeks of employment. -High turn-over rate (14 employees down in 5 months) -Absolutely no scheduling flexibility ("Salaried employees" get docked pay like hourly workers dare you have an appointment outside of lunch hours or have to leave earlier than 5 PM, there is no option for you to make up hours) -No work life balance (Always encouraged "for successful results" to work after hours or on weekends, for free as there is no overtime offered or even the flexibility to make up missed hours outside of 8-5.) Regardless of your success, tenure, dedication, you will never have the option to work from home or gain this flexibility/balance. -No opportunity for career growth (Hard work goes unrecognized, no base salary increase until after 3 years of employment) -Underpaid and overworked (Base pays 5k-10k less than the rest of the Dallas job market, and you service a full desk model and handle every single thing-sourcing, submitting, travel itineraries and bookings, credentialing, payroll-while managing to surface 300 cold calls weekly.) -Unprofessional ("Anti corporate" culture should not be equivalent to a lack of structure and personal feelings getting mixed with professional decisions.) Culture, values, mission statement look promising, but are they followed? No.

Focus Staff Response

Thank you for the feedback. First and foremost. I always make myself available for honest, constructive and thoughtful dialogue. Whether that be during employment or after. Please do email me if you would like to converse further. Kyle@focus-Staff.com Our model is to offer a base salary to support our employees while they ramp up their commissions. This is a position in which the variable comp is the means to growth and salary increase. We do however have career pathing which offers flexibility with both tenure and production, eventually resulting in 20 or so days of PTO annually. We feel this is fairly generous and on par with the market. Regardless. I agree with you wholeheartedly on having constructive dialogue on all these matters. If you would like to, please reach out to me. Look forward to it. Kyle Rhodes CEO
