Pros

-managers are there to support and assist on roles -questions and concerns are not a burden on management -very relaxed environment, t-shirt/jeans Fridays -as long as you are putting in the work and hitting your numbers, you will have flexibility in your work day -if you aren't hitting your numbers managers are there to support and help you figure out better techniques to hit it -we got a new awesome 3 pot coffee maker! -moving into a new, upgraded office space in June!!

Cons

-not everyone's cube is near a window -the 2 teams are so spread out (although its being fixed in the new office) -sometimes we have too many REQs to work one and it can be overwhelming

Pros

Some of the people I worked with were great.

Cons

Everything that person said is 100% hitting the nail on the head. I don’t know who at this company got ChatGPT to write a BS response to that review but nothing in the reply was true at all. This place is TOXIC. No real HR, leadership gets thrown into their positions because of high turnover, and no real path for growth whatsoever. The micromanaging is out of this world and don’t even get me started on the misogyny. they spend too much money on “tools” AKA software and “automation” but don’t actually invest in the people there or real training. The “culture” thing is fake and if there are positive moments it only comes from the friendships made through the trauma.

Apprecitate your response. It takes alot of personal time an effort to repond to these Glassdoor reviews and they offer opportuity for reflection. In some cases, we can agree to disagree, while in others we look for areas for improvement. Over the past 8+ years our Human Resource Business Partner has been represented by a member of the Society of Human Resource Management. The SHRM certification and training, in each case, has been at the expense of ARG and in the interest of professional development of internal employees of Applied Resource Group. We understand the importance of Human Resources but also the need to allow for internal growth in our corporate functions by investing in our people. We seek to develop an inclusive culture and we hire a diverse employee base. Thank you for investing over 4 years in our journey. Your time here is apprecaited and wish you a bright future.

Pros

Nice office space - you are able to gain basic recruiting skills that will help you grow with next opportunity. Truly just a stepping stone opportunitiy.

Cons

-Lack of leadership / company vision -Training - hope you know what you’re doing and have a full book ready to work. You will not succeed here with out it unless you sell your soul to become a “pet” and not have a voice or opinion.

Thank you for your feedback. We have set a clear mission which is building lasting relationships but also a culture of accountability. We’ve also set clear vision for the company and its growth. To clarify, our vision is developing our team members so they can reach and achieve their fullest potential. We also set clear expectations on activities, objectives and results which is standardized across the organization and by job function. We measure these things so we can celebrate our top achievers and are always looking for opportunities to promote from within. We have also been intentional on organizational development. We hire diverse group of people including experienced hires and entry level graduates through campus recruitment dependent on the needs of the company. We’ve set a clear path of progression from entry level recruiter all the way to leadership. Lastly, we deliver on training both formerly and 1-1 at the desk level our training includes licensed on-line learning management systems, LinkedIn Learning license, books on sales and leadership, as well as weekly instructor led coaching sessions. Leading by example. Personally, we spend 1-1 time setting client meetings for our sales team to reduce friction and help people accelerate in their sales careers, supporting them in their client meeting objectives and helping them achieve their goals. Our recruiting leaders are player coaches who are doing the role on the field and are quick to share recruiting strategies and candidate referrals from leadership is common. We’ve had to make some big changes this year due to missed revenue expectations, team and individual performance. Having honest and clear communication publicly about weekly and monthly performance has been tough. Simply, we want to hire and develop great people, lead by example by showing not telling and create top performers who are mission driven. If your experience was anything less, our sincerest apologies. We are an organization that cares. Wishing you the best.
