Pros

None actually. Low payment, people are unhappy, there's always gossip around. Maybe lack of workload I would say. The forecast and the situation are so bad that since there are no new customers and no work, maybe it was a plus to work very hard for 2 weeks and then be idle.

Cons

When I started the job, the person who will be my manager asked me about my zodiac sign, this is already a disgrace. The people who hired me and the people I would be working on their teams have no idea about each other. I told them what experiences I had. Since the person I would be working with didn't think to ask, she/he noticed my capabilities after I started the job and then started to crush me about it. "We hired you by mistake", "you should actually have been in the lower position", comparisons with my other co-workers... They both hired me and put me under such psychological pressure for 3 months. Then they fired me :) I can't receive unemployment benefits because I only worked for 3 months. On top of that, they told me "you'll find a job very easily, these are outstanding schools" and about my school, they said "someone who graduated from this school shouldn't ask these questions". It's obvious that he/she has a pain in the neck regarding schools. Apart from that, there is zero professionalism inside. After I started working, around 5 people were laid off or left. Nobody knows what they are doing, there is no structure. They will lose more customers this way.

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.
