      Pros

      Remote options, potential to make good money if you have industry experience.

      Cons

      Training is horrible, metrics are unattainable in this market environment, the resources they claim to have for new employees are not as supportive as they say, the new supervisors for some divisions are only out for themselves and get frustrated when you do not do things the way they would. Positive feedback is next to none. Even with great success, your commission is completely dependent upon the delivery team which is not always as accessible as one would think. The recruiters are overworked and picky about which job orders they want to focus on. the list goes on and on, I would rethink working for this company.

      Hip Staffing agency but be prepared to work 12+hour days and weeke

      Pros

      - Training program is thorough - Medical benefits are good - Slighty above average base compensation - Employees and some management are happy to help when you have a question.

      Cons

      -Highly competitive environment - Micro-manager mentality - No work life balance!! Always pushing employees to work late evenings and weekends. Highlighting the employees that work weekends creating an environment where employees that can’t work weekends feel guilty. While many companies were giving employees self-care days in 2020, Swoon was advising employees to work longer hours to beat competition saying it was “imperative.” - No time to cook healthy meals or stay active. One manager tried to persuade her team a few times to work late saying she would buy them dinner. -Quantity versus quality mentality

      Thank you for your feedback, and we can relate to how difficult it can be to create work/life balance to ensure that goals are being met in both personal and professional lives. This is why Swoon has a flexible working environment, in which employees can create their schedules to ensure that they are meeting both responsibilities at the "office" and at home. There may be some weeks, if an individual is having difficulty meeting their work goals, that they are encouraged to put in some extra time in the evenings or over the weekend to ensure that they are meeting the objectives. Staffing is hard, even more so now - and we value and appreciate all our employees and the hard work they contribute each and every day.

      Balance Between Culture and Career!

      Pros

      I was drawn to working for Swoon because it offered a great culture, and a collective entrepreneurial spirit! That still stands true, as I am approaching my three year anniversary with the company. I am SO glad I was given the opportunity to join such a unique workplace! Swoon encourages their teams to develop true partnerships both with their clients and candidates. I'm excited to continue to grow with the company! If you are someone who is looking for a career with a company that rewards their employees for hard work, you should contact Swoon for information on open positions!

      Cons

      Staffing is a business built on relationships. Making yourself available for your clients and candidates at all hours is what sets us apart from our competitors. I value this dynamic as it is part of our brand. This requirement of the job is not for everyone, but those that manage these relationships well are very successful!
