Pros

The culture was truly amazing. They did a good job at hiring on a team of great, social, and memorable employees that made walking in every day feel great. This is also a great company to springboard your recruiting career to find a real job in IT staffing. Take what you learn here with stride, but don't expect to make a career in recruiting in this particular office, unless you move to corporate, parent companies. Free coffee and donuts was nice.

Cons

Upper management is literally incompetent. Spending more time trying to desperately figure out how to connect with the millennial crowd that they hired, that same "culture" that they lured everyone in with and built in the beginning has been absolutely destroyed in every regard. Leadership only cares about where the next client submittal comes from to feed a fake KPI that is created internally, and this problem has only gotten worse with a recent promotion in the office. Certain managers tell you one thing, then go behind closed doors and say another thing to each other. Nothing at all is constant or fluid, leadership makes you feel like garbage with passive aggressive comments about not staying late every single day (while they go home early, arrive late constantly), and our jobs were constantly being threatened if we weren't hitting the extremely unreasonable metrics. Management likes to remind us frequently that these KPI numbers (and pay scale, for that matter) are "industry standard", but in hindsight, this is definitely not the case. Modis requisitions are not stable or reliable enough to ever reach the "uncapped commission" they hark on about, leaving the majority of the workforce feeling severely underpaid, burnt out, and overworked. Seriously. I have friends who work in retail or food service, worked 2/3 of my hours, and made about as much. Everybody plays the system, even one of the managers were fired for feeding their ""top producer"" fraudulent numbers. Every SINGLE person on the production floor is looking for a new job, even the top employees, and management is too stubborn to see the error in their ways - Modis is going to, and has already lost top talent to the competition. It's a call center. The grass IS greener on the other side, just this once.

Pros

I am a current employee with Modis as a national recruiter. I just wanted to say that the training program they have was great and definitely beneficial in my learning. I liked how we were able to learn each aspect of the recruiting process bit by bit throughout the program so that it was easy to master each part; rather than being thrown to the wolves and having to learn everything from sourcing to interview preps and extending offers all at the same time. In comparison to other training programs I have been a part of, it was a very nice change of pace to have the recruiter/sourcer relationship, where you can work directly under a senior recruiter to get feedback and have them act as a mentor to your learning. Weekly webinars were also a great learning tool, being able to get deeper insight into the roles that we are recruiting for helps to create more confidence in knowing the skill sets necessary to fulfill our job requirements. All in all, the sourcer training program definitely set me up for success to feel 100% confident in my recruiting abilities moving forward.

Cons

For the most part there are no cons that I have been aware of yet. Of course any good job is not going to be easy and there is effort that needs to be put forth to be successful, but Modis definitely provides the tools necessary to success.
