Pros

I used to think there were some pros, but after working at Goodwin, I have found the ownership and leadership team to be liars. To be fair, the trainers are the best part of the company.

Cons

Favoritism, the owner is fake and phony, and the CEO lacks integrity. When you lose 100 people in 3 months, that tells a story. When more than 1/2 the team has zero income in February, that tells a story.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we strongly disagree with several of the statements made, we do appreciate your recognition of the business launch resources within our organization, as we invest heavily in helping Recruiting Partners build long-term success. Goodwin Recruiting is built on integrity, accountability, and relationships, and those values remain non-negotiable for our leadership team and organization as a whole. As with any entrepreneurial and performance-based business model, there are periods of transition and evolution, particularly within a changing recruiting market, but we remain focused on supporting our partners, delivering results for our clients, and continuing to strengthen our culture and business for the long term. We recognize that recruiting is a relationship-driven industry, and we agree that attracting, developing, and retaining great recruiters is critically important. That focus continues to be a major priority for our leadership team as we grow and evolve.

Pros

A handful of the people I worked with.

Cons

-Working constantly to try and compete over the other 350+ recruiters to make money. -Classified as a 1099 but treated like an employee by their demands & micro-management. The idea that it's a "partnership" and "your own business" is the furthest thing from the truth. -Made to sign a non-compete contract that is insane and illegal in several states and the FTC is looking to ban them completely because they "hurt workers and harm competition". -Overt preferential treatment to certain individuals. -Hypocrisy on every level but certainly in their core values especially, "Integrity in Everything We Do". -Misinformation about the individual's startup costs which were around $2,000 in all before you make a dime. -Treated like a cog in a money-making machine with little regard for the "partners" as long as they make money. The more people they add to the company, the more money they make so that serves as their end game along with growing their database. -What is billed as a hospitality recruiting agency turned into a free-for-all of taking on every industry out there for monetary gains and specializing in nothing.
