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.

Swoon Response

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.

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

Great company to work for! Competitive Pay and Benefits. Great office in downtown Chicago. Exceptional colleagues, that are great to work with. Previously worked at other staffing firms, and this hands down has the best management and environment I have been in.

Cons

Just general challenges of the industry,finding good work/life balance. But that just comes along with the recruiting industry.
