Pros

Upgrading systems and great material for clients. On-line tools are excellent and you work with very talented coaches. The work is very rewarding and does educate and support clients in best-practice job search.

Cons

The company is driven by the finance function. Even when business was booming (lots of new customers and clients) they invented new methods of reducing the coaches' pay. The manager I worked for did NOT support her employees, micro-managed every action, including jumping in when she overheard 2 people working on setting-up a computer. She would not answer direct questions regarding pay or how work was assigned. They blatantly violate the FLSA - she once told me to move hours I worked from one week to the next to avoid paying overtime. She had assigned the work to me and acted as if I violated a process by not telling her my hours would exceed 40 with the assignments. Witnessed and experience inappropriate behavior by my manager's manager. He would come into the office and hug the women and even kissed my manger on the cheek. If you express concerns you are not fired, they just stop assigning work to you. I could go on and on.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
