Pros

Paid healthcare, decent base salary compared to other agencies, downtown modernized office, 401k benefits, just opened up a new office in San Diego, management staff and owners, growing company.

Cons

Commission structure is not that great (both book of business and initial), no real room for growth, office politics, not that many dependable / winnable clients for big margin potential for VMS.

Pros

During my time at Swoon, it was my personal experience that... 1. Internal & external employees are treated VERY well. Some examples include: relaxed dress code, generous vacation/sick pay from Day 1, good benefits, competitive pay, and fun events like Lolla tips, BBQs, record club Fridays, etc. 2. Swoon was very much (and still is) like a family environment where mostly everyone truly wanted each other to do well and will help out any way they can. There was a sense of camaraderie most of the time, and that's important in the staffing industry. 3. HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY is encouraged. Employees every quarter to see how Swoon is doing, which is rare. Employees are able to contribute their ideas and every single one is taken into consideration. Also, leadership has done a nice job in telling it like it is while also working with you to be successful. There will ultimately be hard conversations to have, disagreements, frustrations, etc. That's life. But if you can get past that and understand that healthy dialogue is good, then it can promote long-term growth. 4. You're rewarded for your work. In this industry, there will be some late nights / long hours. But if you put in the time and are diligent, you can make good money. 5. Swoon treats their clients VERY well and are committed to establishing and building long-term, healthy relationships. 6. The company is growing! It's exciting to see a legit west coast office opening up because business has grown so much!

Cons

Not many, really. I suppose training could continue to improve, which I know is a focal point and is always evolving.

Pros

This place offers free beer and has a bunch of great people working on the IT and Pro teams. I think the office is stunning and a great place to host events.

Cons

The management has the worst training in place. They force people to post on LinkedIn and twitter. The owners are not engaged in the company whatsoever. Everyone gossips and stabs each other in the back. The base salary is horrible and the directors are the only ones who can make placements consistently. The favoritism is obnoxiously apparent.

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and certainly acknowledge that after a mere 5 years of “start-up” mentality, improvements will continue to be made. We foster an open-door environment where owners, team leads, and our peers are willing to listen and implement change - quite literally next day – when earnest ideas are put forth. We consistently encourage innovative ideas from our team and hope the feedback, negative or positive, would be made real-time so we can act upon it. Starting a company (any company) takes a lot of hard-work and long hours in order for us, and those around us, to be successful. We can only hope each individual recognizes the opportunities Swoon provides, knowing that hard work will be the driving force to get us there! We care about our employees and we want to improve, and while these reviews are anonymous – we’d love to offer more opportunity to take the conversation offline, feel free to email me at operations@swoontech.com to set up a chat.
