Toxic work culture, micromanaging & high stress with little reward - Recruiter/Staffing Consultant Beacon Hill Employee Review

Experiences probably vary depending on your team and manager. In my experience, we were expected to work at all hours during the work week beyond a "normal" 9-5, really it was closer to 7-7. Constant miscommunication between management and employees, unrealistic expectations for new hires, low base salary, insufficient training, lack of constructive feedback & criticism, extreme micromanagement, unprofessional and toxic team dynamics, oversized scope of responsibilities and outdated processes that desperately need to be modernized. Lack of respect for the recruiters who are constantly overloaded with new reqs with little pay off. Managers run the place like it's 1993 and maintain business with clients who take weeks and sometimes months to communicate, resulting in high candidate drop-off and lots of wasted time and effort. The team may work on a req for several weeks with no feedback only to be told the client suddenly canceled the job or filled it internally. There is no amount of money worth the stress and mental toll this job takes on you. The tech team makes the most commission because they work on reqs with the highest salaries.
