Not Family Friendly - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso gpac

1. You are expected to work all the time. Told to be scrolling linked in throughout the evening, told to send messages on linked in around 8-9 PM for best results, expected to answer incoming calls after hours and if you don’t you are just told that you don’t want it bad enough. 2. Extremely inflexible no matter how much they advertise positions as being flexible. I was threatened to be fired on multiple occasions for attending necessary medical appointments, including OB appointments throughout my pregnancy, even though notes could be provided. The inability to pick my kids up from school or take them to/attend their activities due to work was extremely frustrating. I would get extreme anxiety if my kids were sick over having to call out because they frequently just fire people for various reasons. 3. It’s very very difficult for newer recruiters to get an “in”. Most tenured recruiters are so wrapped up in their own things or working on other tenured recruiters searches that they don’t want to help you. Turn over is so incredibly high that they see helping new people as a waste of their time because they likely won’t make it past a month or two. 4. It seems no matter what you do it’ll never be good enough in the eyes of Gpac. I was fairly successful in my time there (cashed in around 100k in my first year) and it was still not enough… you’ll never be making enough calls, sending enough emails, bringing in enough cash, connecting with enough people etc. . Some of the coaches were nice, helpful, and encouraging but a lot of them lack empathy/compassion and their “well-meaning” sentiments are degrading and derogatory. 5. It just feels shady sometimes.. it seems a lot of coaches and recruiters think they aren’t lying if they just omit details or truths and I morally couldn’t get on board. 6. The compensation is not good unless you are a tenured recruiter with well established clients… after taxes, tool cost, and benefits you are making about 2k/month (that you owe back to them when you make commission) and working at minimum 50 hours/week. The dream they sell is that eventually you’ll have your own established clients and you won’t be in the draw and you’ll have a ton of flexibility but from what i saw with my time at the company very few newer recruiters accomplish this even with putting in tons of effort and following the steps provided during training.
