Pros

Fun engaging co-workers and a nice office space.

Cons

Promote a happy, healthy, we are different type of culture, but when it comes down to it, it's a what have you done for me lately type of place. Unsure of who is really calling the shots, management in Atlanta or Corporate in CA. Internal office politics will not be avoided here. Agenda's will be presented to the team, while a different direction is negotiated behind the scenes.

Pros

No pros for this place, this was one of the worst com companies I have ever worked for. No direction from upper management.

Cons

Quite a few, no direction from upper management. They are quick to get you in the door by promises they never keep. Not sure how they have the title of best places to work. They have had almost 100% turn over year after year. No one stays with this company. Their recruiting and sales practices are outdated with a by any means necessary closing approach. Small set of clients with little in the way of making commissions. Look at their track record before signing on that dotted line. The glowing reviews are from the company not actual employees.

We are truly disappointed that this has been your experience at Roth Staffing. Our company strives to provide very clear pathways for success and communicates in abundance to all coworkers via Town Hall meetings, webinars, weekly news documents, interoffice letters via FedEx, daily news-pop up screens, and emails to ALL coworkers. Feedback like yours will only spark our efforts to be even more communicative. Our turnover is certainly not 100%, in fact, our turnover is much lower than the industry average. We will take a deep look for any branches that have recently experienced above average turnover in the past year to uncover where this perception might exist. Thank you for your criticism ... it only motivates us to be try even harder to create a great workplace. When we receive national recognition for being a Best Place to Work, it is solely based on the anonymous feedback from the people who work at our company and our leadership has no involvement in who outside organizations choose to honor. It is a humbling honor and something that actually raises the bar forcing us to be an even better employer tomorrow than we are today.

I would absolutely not recommend this company to anyone; client or candidate

Pros

There are some decent coworkers. I suppose having every other Friday off is alright, but not worth it in the grand scheme of things.

Cons

This company feels like a poorly managed cult. About 60 days into the misfortune of coming here, you will have to recite their mission, vision, values. Verbatim, word for word. There is no talk of expanding your career. Just get in and talk to them about... them. Hmm, seems a little odd, but I’ll play along. Drink that kool-aid. Additionally, one of their statements is “making life better for people we serve”; cool. However, they have no interest in making life better for their employers. For example, if you get ill, I’m talking doctors note and a day in hospital, you’ll have to go unpaid, because oh well.. you don’t have any PTO or sick days until 90 days in. Great job, Roth. Really making life better for your people. Oh, and you can NEVER work from home.. so if you’re sick and don’t want to get too far behind in your work, you’ll be working for free because they can’t physically see you- huge micromanaging culture. Their benefits are abhorrent and essentially non existent. They have the 9/80 schedule, but I can say that it’s very weird to see people just sitting around watching the clock from 5-6pm to get out of the office. If you’re done with your work, why not have the ability to simply leave? Once again. Micromanaging and a borderline cult feeling. One final thing, they place accounting and finance, however these buffoons hardly know anything about the industry; they simply fling resumes around and hope something sticks. No boutique tailored feel here. They didn’t want to be the biggest but the best. Well, that’s a cute idea, but when you have former retail workers talking to CPA’s with no idea of what they’re talking about, you look beyond inept. Pass on this company if you want a real career and not have to struggle because their margins are so small and pathetic. Your commission checks will look like a joke. My life is so much better- not.. but It will be when I leave.

We absolutely agree that sick time should be taken when needed even if that's , unfortunately, right off the bat in your new role. Coworkers have always begun accruing sick leave the very first day they start at Roth Staffing. We did notice that the official Coworker Handbook says that sick time has to be accrued and not used until after 90 days, and as soon as a new coworker raised this question with our HR department a couple months ago, we immediately revised our handbook so that coworkers can use sick time as soon as they have any hours accrued. No one wants to get sick within their first week of a new job, but we certainly understand it can happen and would always be willing to work out a unique scenario with a new coworker if in a bind. If the mission, vision, values feel like drinking kool-aid, then it just might not be the right work culture fit for you and it sounds like you've determined that. That's on us. We have several hiring processes in place where we do our best to assess for a great fit between who the company is and who the candidate is before we make the decision to extend an offer of employment. Working at Roth Staffing or any of our business lines should feel like home - you should feel like the core philosophies of the company resonate with you and bring out the best in you. If it instead feels like a forced fit or a cult, then you don't want that, and we don't want that. Finding the right fit is always tough, but so worth the effort. We definitely don't like to hear that you never got the chance to discuss your professional growth opportunities because there is a lot to offer at Roth in terms of career growth and is a big topic of conversation during the first weeks of our coworkers' learning path.
