      Wouldn't recommend to a friend.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I enjoyed the people I worked with in my office and truly felt they were my friends. There was a very strong "Sales" culture of heavy drinking and going out which a lot of people might enjoy. I learned a lot. It is fast paced and if you want to learn how to be tech recruiter quickly, this is a good way to do that.

      Cons

      Lack of Diversity. From the very first trip to their corporate office in Indianapolis I felt unbelievably uncomfortable with the fact that I was almost always the only person of color in the room. During my time with the company they said they were trying to adjust this by attempting to hire more people who were "diverse" but I never really saw them be intentional about this in a way that would actually make a difference. For example, the leadership team is made up of mostly white men and some white women as well. It's hard to be fully "bought into" a company that didn't seem to want to improve in the D&I space. The other con for me was the focus on drinking and "partying". I understand this is a draw for a lot of people but if this isn't really your thing, you might feel uncomfortable in this company. For example right after my interview they invited me out to a happy hour where I felt like they wanted to see if I would order a drink. I don't normally drink but I did in this case because it felt like a test. After I was hired and with the company for a few months, my manager told me that it was indeed a test and they wouldn't have hired me if I hadn't ordered an alcoholic beverage. This was a little bit off putting for me because I hate that it was a pass/fail part of the interview.

      Pros

      - The people. The people. The people. We're a team and we are family. It's a core value (I realize this is a core value for lots of companies, but I can speak that it does accurately describe Eight Eleven. - The company genuinely cares about your overall happiness. Not just at work. - Reasonable people. Especially the managers. If you're ok with sharing your problems, they will listen and do their best to take care of you. - The work is purposeful. We're in the business of people and I feel like I'm helpful everyday. Some days more than others, but nonetheless, I have purpose here. - The marketing team specifically is small, but growing and it is very exciting being at the ground floor. Overall, my job at Eight Eleven Headquarters is to support all of our Recruiters and Account Executives internally so that they may support our external contractors and clients. If you like supporting internal employees primarily, being on a team, and coaching/leadership, and being part of an ever-growing company... This is a great place for you.

      Cons

      - Success here is earned and you may have to put in a few years and prove your loyalty, have successes, and show you care in order to climb to where you want to be. This is the nature of a tight-knit leadership team. Note: I am not on the leadership team and I know this. - Benefits package could use some help. - I honestly don't have many cons that I don't think are already being addressed. I used to not like the dress code, now they're more relaxed. I used to get frustrated about not being allowed to work from home, but if you communicate with your manager why you want to, they are typically open to it.

      Trying to Be a Company That They're Not

      Pros

      Eight Eleven Group has grown tremendously in the last decade, mostly by expanding into new territories, branching off into other industries like finance, healthcare, engineering, etc. They have done a great job of promoting internally and growing individuals through training and development. They look to create a strong, almost cult like culture of "raving fans" and highlight the experience that they're giving everyone who interacts with the organization from front to backend.

      Cons

      The biggest issue with working for Eight Eleven Group is that they don't walk out what they preach. Their culture was built on then green college students who were new in the career and wanted the feeling of a corporate environment where spending time with co-workers and drinking at and after work were important. Those same individuals are now at the Manager/Director level with families and are looking for a flexible, supportive work environment that Eight Eleven has not grown to provide. Sales conferences and meetings that incorporate all night drinking binges, overnight trainings (where you share a hotel room with your same gendered co-workers....) and being in the office every single day are just a few of the ways that Eight Eleven says are foundational to their "culture" and will not change. This company will preach that there is nowhere better to work, but that is untrue. Additionally, the employees at Eight Eleven Group are some of the hardest working and best educated people that I know, and they are not being compensated accordingly. Since I've left this organization, I have had only 3 additional years of experience but have more than doubled my salary.
