Vantaggi
When you first meet with the president, she will greet you with a big smile and energy that is through the roof. She will tell you this is a $100,000 job and will flaunt trips and cars and gift cards and you start think this is a place that really gets behind their employees. You couldn’t be further from the truth. DO NOT BE FOOLED. I am not saying she is lying, but the only people that make that kind of money and are privied to the trips and cars were given a very successful book of business. If you are new to the organization you will never get to see any of those perks which makes it almost worse than not having those things at all.
Svantaggi
The jobs orders are stale and have been open for several months because the sales team does not sell. They blindly email resumes over and have little control over their clients. It takes over 40 subs to fill one job. More than half of their jobs close with no notice or reason and the fall off rate is well above average. It is a lot of effort for such a low success rate and you quickly realize they have no idea what they are doing. Most people end up cutting their losses and quitting which explains their unusually high turnover rate. The entire management team also has their favorites and if you are one of the powerful few, you get treated like a first class citizen. The rest of the daytime slaves (the recruiters) will work long hours, take few breaks few breaks, and will be under constant threat of losing their job. Short of standing in the front of the room beating on a giant drum and yelling “ROW” the president does the next best thing to increase productivity. She sends out an email just about every out to make sure you are on par for your sub count. It is so intrusive and disruptive, it is actually hard to focus on the task on hand i.e. getting people jobs! It is all about that sub and the president (a former beauty queen with no college degree) seems to care more about that number and the aesthetics of the office than actually making the company money. She has completely lost the respect of the floor and everyone is trying to keep their jobs long enough to solidify their exit strategy. Just being there on a day to day basis is depressing. The moral of the office is so low, I’ve seen cancer wards with more hope… you look around you see your buddies suffering, not a smile in the room other than nervous grins the recruiters give when the owner walks past their cubes. He will fire you if he doesn’t like the calendar on your desk. If you area an adult, which I think most people on this site are, do not work here. They don’t give you a shred of dignity and is impossible to make the kind of living you want. If you work 12 hour a day, and put in some time on the weekend, the best you can hope for is $60,000. It’s for the powerful few, not for you.
