Pros

Nice people and decent salary

Cons

I made the mistake of ignoring the overwhelmingly negative reviews when I joined this company, something I deeply regret. The organization is profoundly disorganized, with little to no support from management or internal teams. Sales cycles are excessively long, averaging 6–8 months, and you’re expected to churn out an absurd number of cold calls daily with minimal tools or strategy in place. Management is inept at best and negligent at worst. In one case, I personally secured a deal only to have it fall apart because leadership lost the contract, a contract the client had already revised and returned. After repeated follow-ups, I was finally told that it had simply been misplaced, costing me the sale entirely. Unfortunately, that’s just one example of many. This kind of operational incompetence is the norm, not the exception. Communication is poor, processes are unclear, and nobody seems to have a handle on what’s actually going on. The only marginal upside was the remote setup, which they are now walking back in favor of a hybrid model, something that was never disclosed during the hiring process.

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.
