      Constant layoffs

      Vendor sourcing specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Developed genuine relationships with co-workers and select management. Great salaries advancement opportunities (under SMS Assist NOT Lessen).

      Cons

      Constant layoffs which I notice what several companies are doing now due to inflation. I recognize that many companies now have started implementing AI and have always outsourced employment opportunities to international companies to reduce labor costs which I assume is the CEO/CFOs' motive for the constant layoffs. HOWEVER, as a 3rd party facility management company, that relies on the securement on clients' financial contractual profits to sustain existence, actual HUMANS play critical role in sustaining client success. The CEO Jay McKee will soon learn but it may be too late at that point.

      Empty Promises to Pros was Extremely Uncomfortable

      Sourcing and recruiting coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay was decent, travel half the year was great Self-starter position was great Great teammates on small team of 4

      Cons

      Was told to promise pros work even though no jobs were available. Recruiting directions felt like ripping off pros. Poor management communication. Had multiple bosses offering contradicting directions and requests. Metrics were never accurately recorded or utilized. When problems were brought up they were never revisited just swept under a rug. Management wanted us to meet up with individuals that couldn’t pass background checks. Alcohol at recruiting events led to uncomfortable situations. Management rarely had correct answers. No guidance in development. Teams would cherry-pick pros for kickbacks meaning my recruits would never get jobs. Illogical recruiting requests- why do we need 45 plumbers in Tuscaloosa for jobs that aren’t available? Sometimes would travel alone, and meet up with suspect individuals just to meet a quota.
