Pros

The only positive about this place is the training, which is probably the best in the industry.

Cons

I have been a recruiter for about 3 months and this is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for! Just over the short amount of time that I have been here I have seen a parade of people get bullied and pushed out because they didn’t fit in with the unprofessional, “cult-like” culture. They like to hire right out of college so they can mold them into the compliant employees they want and pay them little to nothing. They bait people in by telling them what an awesome and supportive work environment it is and how much money they can make when in reality it’s a terrible work environment and they only pay $12.25/hr until you hit $3k in spread (around 9 months) then make you hit $8k in spread before giving you any commission. Forget about having a life outside of work, they expect you to work 24/7, most people come in around 7:30am and leave around 7:00pm and if you come in at the standard time (8:00am- 5:00pm) you better believe you’re getting the stink eye. The turnover is outrageously high (30% attrition rate) with most people leaving around the 6 month mark and I could count on one hand how many people that have been there for over 3 years. There is also a hierarchy with the Account Managers and Recruiters with Account Managers refusing to work with the “new recruiters” and only submitting candidates from recruiters that they like. You can only be promoted into the Account Manager role after you hit a certain amount of spread and contest. This company has fooled people into believing an Account Manager position is actually a promotion when in every other recruiting firm it’s just another career path that you can take, plus it’s more responsibility for the same amount of pay. They set it up that way so when someone questions them about the high turnover they can say “well look at all the people we have promoted”. The people that are unethical and unprofessional are the ones that get promoted here and whenever someone report the behavior they just say “sorry there is no way to prove that”.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
