Horrible place to work for recruiters

Pros

nothing, easy to spell company name

Cons

recruiters nightmare. Horrible management. High turnover. Direct Hire management is ridiculous. Put all their eggs in the Wells Fargo basket. Sales Vs. Recruiting at it's finest. Lots of finger pointing egged on by management. Document everything just in case environment. Cameras in office to spy on workers. Badge needed to access office and they monitor it to see who arrives late, leaves early etc.. Dead serious about that. Managers constantly checking in on your emails. Very insecure atmosphere. Everybody slowly becomes depressed. Meetings after meetings after meetings about meetings and so on and so on!

Pros

- They paid you on time. - Some flexibility with work hours. - Looked good coming in. Unfortunately that impression was short lived.

Cons

- No comp time for unexpected customer site shut-downs (ie snow storms), This was especially irritating when every other contracting firm working for this customer provided comp time to their workers in these situations. - As an hourly worker, overtime was still expected with no compensation. Management side-stepped this issue repeatedly. - Did not address constant scope creep of my job nor inquire about schedules or performance. Furthermore, didn't seem interested either. The value added of CDI admin was unclear. - It was my "job" to translate the customer charge number into a CDI charge numbers for admin. This fact was not part of orientation. - I also found out it was my job "to find a job" within the customer site when a charge number ran out. - CDI is highly streamlined for employee profitability starting day one with the "Red Carpet" on-board process. Expect to spend hours of your own time filling in the on-line website with work information. - Also the issue of on-site contractors in Windsor Locks "renting" their own cubical's bobbed up in one of the few meetings we had with management. This is basically a pay-cut gimmick driven by their customer. If you have a choice between solo contracting and these guys, consider solo contracting.

Pros

If a person wishes to be a 1099 employee, where they work for the duration of a contract or effort, and then may or may not be picked up for additional work, this may be worthy of consideration.

Cons

Seem to eat up companies, and spit out employees of those companies on the other side, leaving the impression they have more concern for sharholders and the bottom dollar then those who help generate that revenue. The benefits are close to non-existent, although this seems to be common place nowdays. Company sends out mandates with little explanation as to how to implement them, and with little or zero notice. Often do not understand the operational nuances of the markets which some of thier acquired companies operate in. Valued employees whom have had significant contributions to the Company's bottom line are laid off or forced to use vacation time immediately when in a lull or transition between projects/accounts. The most discouraging environment I have ever worked in.
