Don't waste your time!!

Pros

I met a few wonderful people during my time here that remain good friends. Otherwise, most un-stimulating and boring position I have ever held.

Cons

This company will never make you feel valued. It's unreal the amount of hardworking talent that I saw walk through those doors and how they were treated in return for their efforts. No room to grow at all. The job gets to be so boring and so unchallenging that you will feel like you are killing brain cells by the second. The pay is awful, they change the commission structure every year so you are cheated more and more as you devote time to the company. What's worse is the accounting department is a mess, almost every single paycheck for sales, recruiters and contractors were wrong. I saw dozens of people get fired before receiving their hard-earned bonus. No severance for anyone, even employees that devoted 3+ years to this company. You don't get lunch breaks. They have an "unlimited vacation policy" but then guilt you for when asking for time off. The "in office manicures" and "yearly massages" rarely happen. Management cusses at interviewees/potential contractors which results in losing deals that you worked hours to get commission for.

Sinking Ship

Pros

You get to work in a nice building.

Cons

Imagine the Titanic, except that no one aboard is charismatic or has a British accent. So you're walking aboard this ship that looks really awesome. People are waving at you and smiling and clapping like baboons. You're completely unsuspecting of what you've gotten yourself into. You feel like you're in First Class, but those first 3 seconds/ 3 weeks don't last. That iceberg is coming, and FAST. The same people/ coworkers who smiled in your face are really passive aggressive, pretentious drones that are only smiling because they just received some management gratification for stroking their narcissistic egos with fake compliments and forced positivity via company-wide email chains. And don't even think about being respectful to the other classes on the ship which primarily include your clients or candidates. The bulldog tactics of THREATENING candidates and clients with rescinding offers of employment, incessant phone abuse (try calling someone north of 10 times during any given HOUR, even 9:00 at night), and of course the passive-aggressive threatening of your own position if you go against the grain. You don't feel comfortable bullying clients into making a decision right there and now on your time, or maybe bullying people into accepting jobs the very second an offer comes in? Get ready for some good ol' fashion shaming, pushing and "pep talks" to follow. It's enough to make you want to jump off the side of the ship. And many, MANY people do. I worked at the company for a significant period of time and after putting up with months of seeing co-workers be bullied and sold out by two-faced peers and dim-witted managers, I finally got off the boat. Of course this is after witnessing numerous people get fired or leave, including various managers around the country. Another fair warning, if you don't respect the companies flawed logic on how to execute a respected business, you better get ready for the rockiest ride of your life until you jump or you're eventually thrown off the ship, without a life jacket. Hope you know how to swim. Everything at this company is a joke. If one of your professional values is trusting and respecting management, or taking pride in sales and recruiting, I'd seek out other ships. If you only care about money, I would also look elsewhere because ironically, as much as they pressure clients to close deals, pressuring clients for payment is taboo. Average commission payout time: 4 months plus and standard commission in the industry is about 5-7% HIGHER than here. They will promise you the best trip of your life with amazing perks of sailing with Mondo but don't be fooled by the luster of the boat. This company drained the life out of me for MONTHS. Every day I woke up hating life solely because of a job I was good at and a company that I succeeded within. You came to Glassdoor to check out the company so you must be smart enough to conclude that over half of the reviews on this site are "fake". The first thing the company did when they rebranded from Bluewolf was force their employees to do promotional things like what you see here, as well as vote for "Best Place to Work," etc. Remember, the only "PRO" of this place is that you might work in a nice building... but then again, the Titanic was also a beautiful looking ship... until it sank.

Pros

I always thought this company had a lot of great potential, had creative ideas and could be on the brink of something great, however, I think it may be beyond the point of return.

Cons

Everything seems amazing because everyone is brainwashed. There is a severe groupthink problem at this company. I have even heard people say "drink the kool-aid" before and it does not get more cult-ish than that. This job will give you PTSD. You will be berated publicly, and quite honestly humiliated if you don't hit your numbers or do things the way that leadership wants you to. All decisions are made out of emotion and given zero thought as to how it will impact us. There is no one to keep leadership at bay because everyone is simply too scared to speak their mind and disagree. Leadership is catty, manipulative, and outright abusive to employees.
