Pros

Decent base and bonus structure.

Cons

Where to start? Unethical, bullying, backstabbing, hostile. If you have any talent, RUN. Lying and cheating are not only acceptable, but are the norm. Antiquated systems, attitude. Stunning turnover. For a company claiming to be a consulting firm in HR and business advocacy, it needs to take a good dose of its own medicine. Sadly it does not have its own medicine. There are some great folks in the organization, truly great. They don't last long.

Pros

I got a paycheck regularly

Cons

I've never been so ashamed of where I work. Bullies, hostile work environment worth hypocritical leadership team. If you want a meaningful job with good, smart people, don't look to BBSI. Hands down, the worst place I've ever worked. Liars and bullies are rewarded. Cooperation, innovation trashed.

Pros

There are some nice people and free coffee.

Cons

A very disconnected culture... That's what happens when turnover is high. There are a couple of very psychopathic people that will go to great lengths to hold on to their jobs by lying about others. If you go there, count how many people have been there for 10 years. That'll be a clue...
