Toxic, trashy and turbulent - Recruiter Actalent Employee Review

Oof. Let’s start with the 20 sick and personal days combined. I had COVID this year, and was forced to use 7 of those days right off the bat. You receive only 6 holidays, and on Christmas Eve, Black Friday, etc you are encouraged to hit your call number because “people are home and should be answering the phones.” You have a goal everyday of 40-60 attempted contacts (pending your managers mood), 5 submittals and one start a week. This company gives you 13 weeks to get you up and readily trained for your evaluation and if you’re not hitting 50 buckets you’re basically canned. It’s very archaic. They threaten you with noncompetes and when you give your notice beg you to stay. This company thrives on referrals so you have an internal connection to that person. I had two leads on management leave the same day because of toxic work environment. Everyone is sadly catty and talks down about people who leave. Unfortunately, it is a boys club. Crying in the office is applauded because “you care”. 50-60 hour weeks at minimum. Management threatens you left and right about hitting your numbers.
