Pros

Most of the recruiters and sales team are fantastic humans.

Cons

Tandym changed their ATS system this summer - the geniuses at the top clearly never asked any recruiters or sales people who would be utilizing the system the most to test out the new platform, and they actually delayed the roll out because they were so disorganized. They chose an off shore provider for our ATS, which created a big problem (language was different, process was completely changed, candidates applying to jobs were in no-man’s-land (sorry if you applied and no one reached out!)). The tech professionals from the new system were as helpful as possible, but on multiple occasions confided that the changes Tandym was trying to implement in their system were not compatible. Obviously there is an adjustment with any new system, but the lack of resources was crazy. They released the “best practices” months after the roll out, and were constantly changing said “best practices” because they were clearly learning the system simultaneously alongside recruiters/sales. Tandym’s tech support team is awful from the top down - they all have terrible attitudes and would be visibly annoyed when someone had any questions on the brand new system. On multiple occasions the individuals who were intended to help would roll their eyes and audibly sigh. They are awful, awful, awful people! The person creating best practices is a sweet man but he clearly did not know our processes well enough (or at all) to be creating these guidelines. We are routinely paid wrong; commissions not paid out on time or accurately. I actually started to expect my commissions to be incorrect. Always underpaid but would eventually remedy it (weeks later). CFO is the biggest moron of them all - his team did not withhold enough (actually only half) for everyone in the company and everyone owed $$$$$ come tax season. Byrne in his infinite wisdom got up and said, “well you all should have realized this,” and did not hold anyone accountable. ELT is a boys club of gross incompetence. They are truly male chauvinists and borderline misogynistic at times (senior male directors asking women coworkers to get their lunch). There was a complete lack of transparency for the organizations goals, and the ELT created a culture of distrust. Middle managers who bring in $0 in revenue (because they have zero people skills so that checks out) took over entire groups and were terrible leaders. Weirdly, they changed everyone’s group into “pods” and named them all military-lingo…. “Alpha, Bravo, Delta”. No one at this company in leadership served - just a bunch of dudes who love stolen valor. To finish, there are senior directors (men) who would hook up with summer interns (young girls). We work in a city of 8 million people, and they would hook up with their interns.

Pros

Commission structure was okay - middle of the line. Team members were good and nice people

Cons

Terrible place to work - I was here for over 2 years before being laid off. I was not laid off due to performance reasons, and wasn't given a good reason other than "layoffs are affecting the company" (however they kept on underperformers, and laid off mostly women and people the VP didn't particularly like). The management at Tandym somehow manages to be both overbearing and micromanaging, and yet totally unhelpful when you actually need assistance or advice. There is no positive feedback, I was a top performer for the majority of the time I was there, only slaps on the wrist for disobeying procedures that you weren't ever told about, that overall don't impact the business. The team is unprofessional and everything is an ego trip, I have never worked for a company that seems to prioritize the feelings of individual team members over doing what's best for business and what's equitable. The worst of all came after being laid off. Tandym was completely unhelpful with anything having to do with the aftermath, and incorrectly communicated important information about health insurance and FSA benefits which later negatively impacted me. They also incorrectly reported my wages to the dept of unemployment, making me unable to collect unemployment. It's been several months, and due to Tandym's negligence I have not been able to collect the money from unemployment that I paid into, and that they were supposed to pay into. They did not offer severance unless you signed a very restrictive noncompete, nonsolicit, and mutual arbitration clause (waiving your rights to take them to court), and even then, the severance was only a few weeks. I have been in the staffing industry for several years, having worked for large, publicly traded companies, down to 5 person companies, and Tandym is somehow the worst across the board. Every day coming into work felt like a battle with upper management. The work culture is toxic, the VP's are incompetent, and high performers are punished and pushed to be generalists to even the playing field for underperformers.

Pros

Unlimited PTO (At managers discretion) Summer Friday 12p offices close May - Sept

Cons

-They have SUBSTANTIAL payroll and back-office issues ----They incorrectly or paid late to over 1000 contractors this year alone! ---- They incorrectly pay their internal employees ----- Internal employees constantly have to verify their own commission to assure it is correct --- Company culture is horrible, people are not friendly amongst peers, there is a culture of not having to reply to emails and when you do email people are rude --They think they are so tech centric yet cant even pay staff properly, they continue to role out new tools, technology and processes yet have not even mastered the most simplest -- There is ZERO accountability amongst anyone --People are flat out rude and everyone kicks their duties over the fence

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. While we’re appreciative that our employees find our Flexible PTO and Summer Fridays to be a great benefit we offer, we recognize assessment for continuous improvement is necessary. To that end, we are doing exactly that to resolve matters with agility and precision. Our systems, processes and new leadership will bring positive impact, and this can only be seen over time. For behavior that attributes to creating a negative environment, these matters should be brought to HR so they can be addressed immediately. We have been making big strides to ensure that any form of toxicity is removed to create a better workplace. We always strive to create a positive employee experience so all feedback is welcomed and valued. - Vaishali Rathod, Chief People Officer
