Pros

The 5 star reviews have pointed out the "pros" of working there. Which only happen to 1/3 of the employees - or the lucky ones.

Cons

I am writing this review to warn anyone who is considering becoming a part of netPolarity, This is one of the most unhealthy working environments I have ever experienced. If you work well with fear based management, and don't mind if managers do not respect you - this may be the place for you. Otherwise, find a job elsewhere. I agree with the last 1 star detailed post - they hire ANYONE who is competent and well spoken. They want to make money off you, and do not think you should be rewarded for all the hard work you put in (paying $14/hr before taxes to people with college degrees and decent work experience) . They also have no faith in you, and think that threatening your employment will somehow make you get hires and continue working there. Your overall satisfaction means NOTHING to them. There are better companies out there who value their employees and want you to be (generally) happy. To David, who is going to respond to this, and try and defend his company that is dwindling year after year - all the feedback that you receive does not have to make sense to you or management. It is your employees' opinions, and they have a right to tell you what they think after what you put them through. It is quite sad because we all see the good side in you. However, you don't want to improve and you obviously don't value feedback since you will never change your ways. Do not say you want to hear what we have to say, when you fire anyone who disagrees with you. Try to learn Process Improvement and overall respect for those beneath you. To future employees who do decide to take this job because you can't find anything else - just be careful. Everyone at netPolarity eventually gets fired, unless you suck up to management and find ways to work well with the CEO and President. They either pull you into meetings and tell you you have to improve - or else. They give you ridiculous metrics to meet, and change these metrics with each individual (based on if you have had 1+ hires). The other method they have to fire people - if they know you are looking for a new job, they will let you go then and there. They do not meet with you to discuss anything, they simply inform you to not come back. This kind of treatment needs to stop and I hope this staffing agency goes out of business. The fake reviews need to stop as well - it is extremely unethical.

Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you expect me to respond; I take the time to do this to encourage feedback. It’s widely known that we hire anyone who is competent and well-spoken, as you put it. We require zero experience. At entry level, we have no way of predicting who will be a good recruiter. We hire at entry level, we pay at entry level -- with the expectation that with the training we provide, a good recruiter will emerge with the necessary skills to gain substantial income through placements. Reading your review, it is evident we need to do a better job educating our trainees on business basics. It is mathematically impossible to “make money off you.” On the contrary, it costs money to hire and train new employees. In business, we call this an investment. We make this investment recognizing that only a small percentage of those we hire will turn out to be a good recruiter, but we take the risk in hopes of finding that “diamond in the rough” -- the high performing recruiter who will yield results. I also learned from your review that we have to address misinformation among our employees. We have never fired an employee for voicing an opinion. On the contrary, one of the greatest challenges we face as a growing organization is getting our employees to communicate with us. What saddens me about reading Glassdoor reviews from former employees is that I wish they had given their feedback while they were with us, rather than after they leave. I respect our employees’ opinions – whether or not we agree, I value their conviction and willingness to speak up to make things better. On the other hand, employees who talk negatively in the background or hide behind social media bring only drama, not the positive changes they claim to want. Behaviors as such do not align with our values and detrimental to our business success. That said, we do terminate non-performing employees. This is no secret, and comes as no surprise. We lay out clear expectations from the very beginning and the entire time an employee is with us. We are often criticized for our focus on metrics, but we cannot afford to retain non-performing employees. As you make your way out in the real world of staffing -- corporate or agency -- you will find that one hire a month is chronically below standard for a recruiter. Thank you very much for your review. I hope that my response helps you make sense of the real world.
