Good in theory, not so good in practice

Pros

The recruiter I work with has always been prompt with reaching out and following up via phone and email, and she's occasionally made herself available after hours due to time differences.

Cons

1. There is a severe lack of direct communication between the administrative staff from within the company--one person/dept says one thing, and another dept contradicts that, and the recruiter has to run around like a headless chicken to straighten everything out. 2. The person/dept handling communication between CXE and BCBSMA for insurance gave the impression that they did not know proper policies and procedures, nor replied to any form of contact that was not the recruiter. 2.1. BCBSMA has a specific/special representative that works with employers, and records of any communication. It took multiple calls with multiple BCBSMA CSRs and managers to figure out that CXE had NOT been in contact as CXE claimed. BCBSMA confirmed the date that information was traded to update insurance records happened AFTER I called and emailed my recruiter multiple times due to no returned communication from CXE that wasn't my recruiter. 3. The pay system is useless. It's nice that you can use the ADP website and mobile app to view your pay history, but that's literally all you can do--you have NO control over anything, which is ridiculous. Other companies who use ADP don't have the 1-2 week/paycheck delay when changing direct deposit accounts; a previous employer of mine using ADP gave the employee control over their info, so as long as you changed the banking info before the next check was processed, you could switch accounts whenever. 4. No local availability. Normally compensating for the time difference wouldn't be an issue. However, when it takes multiple calls and/or emails to actually get something done, it becomes a hassle.

Employee Beware

Pros

Theoretically great potential as they’re small enough that one strong employee can really expand their business. Direct access to ownership.

Cons

Management plays favorites. Despite playing by the rules, if they decide they don’t like you (despite high performance), they will make life difficult so you leave instead of them taking an unemployment hit. Then they remind you of their crazy non compete. They once hired a guy who impersonated job seekers and got all of the company/hiring manager info from other staffing firms, then he’d call the company after the candidate didn’t show and offer services. Ownership seemed to encourage this, although most staff was reputable.

Pros

Connexion is a breath of fresh air! I have been in staffing and recruiting for almost 10 years. It has always been fast-paced with constantly shifting priorities. I have worked on both an internal recruiting team, as well as for a staffing firm. Both places were very high stress and burnt me out quickly UNTIL I FOUND CONNEXION. There is no "dictatorship" like you will find at other firms. Account Managers and Recruiters are equals, working together as part of a team to accomplish a common goal. Connexion has a great team of employees- some just starting their career, others have been there for 10+ years. The owner is involved in every way you would want him to be- providing support, finding leads, and even sourcing candidates. The Manager takes on the brunt of the work and always looks for ways to make the staffs life easier. No matter how busy she is, she will always make time for you. You will always feel supported under her direction. Senior Management is constantly looking for ways to improve or give their employees more. Whether that means investing in better resources to help efficiency or providing employees additional PTO to help them prioritize a healthy work-life balance. Connexion offers remote flexibility in a hybrid model. Monday's and Friday's are work from home days, Tues-Thurs are collaboration days in the office. Full work setups are provided for your home office. Oh and they offer THE BEST commission structure in staffing.

Cons

Only downside is that I didn't find Connexion sooner.
