All the negatives of the staffing industry wrapped up in a “Medix Blue” bow! They’re ONLY about who you know-from the owners, to the C-suite and all the way through. Bottom line, if you’re a typical midwestern White male (or blonde female the VP takes an inappropriate liking to)-you’ve got a shot, if not-you won’t stand a chance. As for the women, people of color or non-traditional sexual orientations, those overweight, redheads and even those who just have different interests (you’re ridiculed if you don’t want to attend every happy hour or participate in fantasy sports)-prepare to be ignored in the hostile work environment and not see any of the advancement opportunities they claim. Basically the CEO and his buddies are running a frat house (complete with hazing), rather than a corporation based on “core values” as they falsely advertise. They herd fresh grads in like cattle with things like their Sierra Leone philanthropy efforts, but then don’t even say anything when Sierra Leone experiences a tragedy and treat their only employee from there (not me) unfairly. Or they do a Vegas-themed sales competition right after the shooting and don’t even mention it. Beware, their everyday actions don’t match the appearances they try so desperately hard to keep up!
