Pros

Mondo is the kind of company where you will truly learn what you are made of. It's an ideal environment to learn exactly what it takes to be successful as an outside sales rep in a highly competitive industry. During my time at Mondo/Bluewolf, I was continually pushed out of my comfort zone and challenged to exceed expectations. This job is HARD, but so is life - if you really want to get substantial things done in a business environment this job will teach you how to have the proactive, aggressive approach to do so. The potential is there to achieve great things and the experience you'll gain working with and breaking into major accounts would be very hard to match. I can say the sales manager in Philadelphia is one of the most talented salespeople I've ever encountered, and her support and obvious investment in the success of her team was really fantastic.

Cons

This business is not easy. Competition is fierce, and there is constant pressure to produce. This drives some people to excel, but can be too much pressure for others to handle well.

Pros

- Work hard, and you can earn the autonomy to run your own business within the company. - The commission is real, and earning potential is sky high if you are willing to put in the effort. - Unlimited vacation may to some, seem unreal and a joke, however if you are actually putting in your time and showing your worth, you will be granted the appropriate time off. - Teamwork, they encourage and promote synergy and team collaboration. - Half day Fridays - they are real. No, for real. You will leave the office by 1pm on Fridays in the Summer.

Cons

- Long hours. You should know that you are not signing up for a 9-5. It is realistically 8-6. However, that's really not uncommon in the work world now a days, and the fact that within a year of graduating college you could actually be making $100,000.... it's worth it.

Pros

They changed their name from Bluewolf since Bluewolf got such a bad reputation among their clients that they couldn't function anymore... so that's a plus... new branding. It's a job... that pays... not well in comparison to other agencies but it pays.

Cons

They will tell you that "the only people who comment on glassdoor are the ones that didn't like the company or didn't do well". That's not the case here, in fact I was probably a favorite among my Manager and colleagues and did very well in my time there. However, I feel obligated to post since the previous posts are so obviously crafted by upper management and fake. It's actually taken me a couple of edits to get this post up and running on the site again since Mondo keeps flagging it to get it taken down. The big con from the start: The internal recruiter will promise you the world. He will tell you that you will make up the majority of your compensation in commission. FALSE As a sales person you will make $40k base and 4% commission. Lower than the standard agency commission of 7%. This is even less for recruiters. He will tell you that turnover is low and that our senior employee has been here for 3 years. FALSE. Turnover is HIGH especially among MANAGEMENT which you know is a baaaaad thing. In the last 12 months one office probably turned over 20+ employees and two managers. This is just an agency guys. They will try and entice you with booze and tell you that they have fun. It's at your own expense. You will be expected to put in 12 hour days, forget holidays; if you aren't working than you better be watching your back, and personal life/family? Mondo needs to be your personal life. They will tell you this to your face once you are working for them. Management is highly discriminatory, they berate you every day with obscene and offensive language. I've seen them comment on coworkers clothing, or attitudes, or hair styles...(even when they looked or acted fine). The idea here it to break your spirit... they want even their top performers to feel like they are worthless so that they don't look for other jobs. Last but not least, they are not a moral company. They lie, cheat, and even call fake deals. The amount of times they made offers to candidates to "keep them off the market" when the offer didn't really exist...sigh.. this happened so often that they even have a name for it, "The [Insert Name] Special" named after a higher up who made it common place. These people quit their jobs because they're told they have one lined up... well it's fake. They have a fascist/authoritarian management style where you can expect the best reqs to be taken by the person that is trusted with the responsibility to pass them out. So if you're a new recruiter... forget about making money... he's a shark. Not to mention, higher management think they are better than the world. They will visit, come and sit in a back room and actively try not to manage at all. If you are looking for a short term agency gig... go for it. If you are looking for a career path, this is not a place to do it. Mondo is a joke to most other agencies. If you can stay away from staffing as a whole... that's your best choice. As some advice to anyone who currently works at Mondo or still accepts an offer here... Always respond to management emails with "AWESOME" or "EPIC" or "SLAUGHTER IT" or "KILLING IT" or "SHAKE AND BAKE"... for some astounding reason, this works; they will assume you are working... and leave you alone as they bully another employee.
