Pros

Great co-workers! We've worked together for a long time, so the team dynamics flow smoothly.

Cons

Our technology is so out dated that smaller competitors in our market are running circles around us. Has anyone clicked on our 1990's website recently? Someone in management also made a stupid decision to work exclusively with Monster, so we're losing visibility to 25% of the candidates available on other job boards. One thing is consistent, recruiting decisions are made by people that aren't recruiters, and when those uneducated ideas blow up, it makes us be reactive rather than proactive. Commission reports are rarely processed for us to review, and once we see them, they are riddled with errors. The commission payout formula is convoluted and messy. No acknowledgment or recognition for years of amazing growth and return on your investment. The mentality around here is that no one works hard enough or deserves praise. No raises or performance reviews in years. As a HR company who is an industry expert, our HR department is one of the most poorly run HR departments I've ever encountered.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, good training, steady hours, and opportunities to learn new skills. The work environment is generally supportive and safety is taken seriously.

Cons

The work can be physically demanding, communication could be improved, and scheduling changes sometimes happen with little notice.

Pros

This job is amazing. I wanted to learn a new skill to enhance my current skillset. I'm learning to fix DME (Durable Medical Equipment), which is something I always wanted to learn how to do. This has provided me that opportunity. The staff at Manpower and Bio One have been great. The employees (my colleagues) are amazing and funny people. It's a pleasure to go into work. It's like a small net family so far. Now keep in mind I've only been working for 3 weeks, but so far it has been a very good experience.

Cons

No cons really other than getting dirty ond 5:30 am wake up.
