Pros

- Fully remote (for those outside of CA) - Base salary for operations people is decent, not great but decent - Great trips over the years that are now limited to 2-3 per year with very high qualification metrics

Cons

- CEO is the only person at the company allowed to make process decision or improvements - has led to bottle necking ideas for the last 4 years. Has also led to nightmare PR issues such as the April Fools Joke in 2024 that every one of her Ops leaders told her was not going to land well. - Recruiters were misled during the hiring process that this was a base salary + commission recruiting firm when in fact it is a draw salary that your commissions pay off first and then you receive commission afterwards. - Both recruiters and operations have gone through pay restructuring leading to a huge dip in people's incomes on both sides - The company is still in financial distress as evidenced by a recent Operations team layoff of ~15 people, but during a company wide meeting afterwards there was still a lack of transparency on where the company is at financially. Unfortunately recruiters are being led to believe we are stable when we are not, but they are smart and can see through the smoke. - Jobot does a great job pivoting and paying for technology that will help the recruiters, but it is launched before the Operations team is actually trained, prepped, and have processes in place to sustain it. This can be seen in our Jobot Consulting roll out (2024 CEO announces Jobot Consulting, recruiters are posting the announcement on LinkedIn, but neither the operations team nor the recruiters posting really knew what the new division was or how we were going to run it). Another example - Jobot Health, we hired the most incredible Locum recruiters in the industry but ~4-5 years later still do not have the infrastructure built that supports them as of today's date. - All of the incredible gifts, trips, perks, flexibility, and family-like atmosphere that drew 800 people to want to work here has now all been replaced with a corporate, strict structure because unfortunately the company ran itself into the ground trying to appear better on LinkedIn than the numbers were on paper. - Unfortunately there is favoritism and protection of people because they are friends outside of work. Only now that the company has to make cuts to survive are there being accountability on numbers, etc. to stay.

incredible 100% paid benefits and leadership, every other Friday off, truly one of the best organizations I have ever worked for

Cons

None, they keep making decisions to benefit our consultants, clients, and employees overall. I will be here until I retire :)

Pros

Fully remote, full autonomy, free Friday’s, incredible leaders and colleagues, the list goes on. I can’t say enough great things about this company. CEO is a brilliant woman and you’d never know or expect this in a company this size but she knows every single employee by name, whether you’re at the tippity top or barely moving the needle. Jobot is everything it claims to be, plain and simple. When they claim kindness and respect is the foundation of their company, they live by those words.

Cons

This isn’t necessarily a con but this industry is NOT for the weak. It is a grind and then some. If you are not willing to grind and work hard, this is not the job for you.
