Pros

Cool people to work with. Small teams.

Cons

Went through major change where they got very serious about sales metrics. Did not handle the transition well. Things were always changing and they were not holding themselves and management accountable, but would rather just chalk up the high turnover to the new system

Pros

I am very appreciative of the opportunity to work for such a great company filled with so much opportunity. Swoon is growing rapidly which is great because that gives me the opportunity to grow with it and career doors to open for me. The company culture is awesome because it seems like just about everyone works hard and gets along with each other. We have a lot of fun on our company outings such as happy hours and concerts. I also have plenty of time off and am paid well with a good commission structure. The CEO and the president of the company are exceptional leaders and very caring people. I could go on and on because this truly is the best place I've ever worked.

Cons

Because Swoon is growing rapidly there are always growing pains, but that's just part of the process. This probably wouldn't be a good place for someone to work who isn't willing to adapt to the changing policies and procedures associated with growth.

Pros

-Some of my colleagues were cool -the company can be somewhat tolerable, depending on what team you’re on -if you stick around through the muck, you can build up your weekly margin over time (most other staffing firms have better commission structures though)

Cons

It honestly feels like you’re a sorority girl being hazed by corporate America. The NDC or “national delivery center” is a 6-month “training program” to get you up to speed as an entry level recruiter. This team was the largest team at Swoon. While you are on the NDC, you are held to a higher standard and asked to hit higher metrics than any other team at the company, including teams filled with senior recruiters. They constantly threatened some of my colleagues with performance improvement plans — which are ultimatums in which if a recruiter does not hit a certain, very high target, they lose their job at Swoon. Although the NDC is the largest team at Swoon and are held to the highest performance standards, its recruiters aren’t allowed to make commission. On top of this, I heard plenty of sexist, racist, and ageist comments made while I was in the office. This was quite a disappointment because one of the main reasons I chose Swoon was because they claim to be such an inclusive, diverse, and safe place to work. I’ve noticed management be extra hard on and disrespectful towards people of color. There were a couple of instances where people of color were fired for not hitting their metrics on the NDC. Meanwhile, a white man missed those same metrics and was given a second chance on the NDC, rather than being fired.
