Pros

There are no pros about this company or working environm,ent uinless you enjoy being stabbed in the back, lied to, disrespected and make to work long hours.

Cons

It is an incestuous working atmosphere and far too personal which breeds unhealthy competition and stands in the way of any real business getting done. Rumors fly, gossip abounds, lies are told, promisesd are made and broken and most recruiters are greedy, whiny hippocrites with no moral compass. DO NOT WORK HERE!

DW Simpson & Company Response
10y
We are sorry to read this review; however, it is actually a bit suspicious. First, one of the core competencies we hire for is written communication. This does not seem like a DWS employee’s writing – there are too many grammatical and spelling errors. Second, the average tenure of our staff is 12 years. There is no way we’d be able to achieve that tenure, nor would we have the stellar reputation that we do in our market, if our environment was as this writer describes. Third, our employees know that in order to fix an issue, you must first address the issue in a positive and constructive manner. This writer is just hurling insults. That doesn’t sound like a DWS employee at all. Lastly, while any professional recruiter’s success is in fact dependent upon being available outside of core business hours, not one of our employees is still sitting at their desks after about 5:30 pm on any weekday. We truly value a work/life balance here and offer many ways to achieve it. So, overall, this review doesn’t align with our employees’ (or former employees’) core values and competencies, and therefore seems quite suspicious. But, if it is a real review, we are truly sorry to hear it and wish this person would have addressed their feelings long before they left our firm. We would have been very keen to discuss all of his or her concerns in a mature and businesslike manner.

Pros

Commission based salary lets you work hard to increase your take home pay, instead of getting a flat yearly raise. Some really great people work here, and you get to interact with clients/candidates that are interesting and highly intelligent. Nice office, but I think they’ve since moved.

Cons

Owner & management seemed disconnected from the day to day operations, and decision making often seemed kind of erratic. There’s also a family & friends clique type vibe that may keep others from advancing. Work events revolve around heavy drinking which can lead to awkward situations as a woman.
