MarketSource: Great First Place To Work, but Production is Everything - Anonymous employee Allegis Group Employee Review

I knew going in that this was all quantity over quality. I was constantly compared to everyone around me, which, being new to the work force, was awful. It was extreme competitive recruiting for the "best people" to take low-income part-time jobs, which is a recipe for failure. Basically there are 80 people recruiting via phone, in one room (cube farm), all around the country, and if you don't get at LEAST 5-6 hires per week, you are at the bottom of the group, and after about three months, they consider letting you go. I lasted eight months averaging 3-4 hires a week, and considered myself one of the ones who slipped through the cracks. Management was tough--some are tough and nice, others are tough and rude, as if you're in an army camp. One team would get in trouble for putting their phone back on the hook. You had to sit there with in hanging on your shoulder while you searched for the next person to call. I am not shy, nor am I weak, but the leaders were unnecessarily intimidating, and it was very distracting in an already difficult environment. Felt like pure bad and good luck.
