Pros
The culture here is great. The coworkers you work with are probably the best part of this job. They understand and will help you out, especially if you’re new to recruiting. Everyone is generally friendly and knowledgeable. One thing about the higher ups, they do approve a budget for us to go out as a team in efforts to boost morale. They do nice things like birthday cards and a small gift. They also have an active social media presence which can be helpful for networking purposes. They offer a hybrid work schedule and are pretty understanding that life happens when you need to miss work.
Cons
Since I’ve been at Nesco it has been a constant change in standards. Firstly, this office that I’m currently located in is focused mostly on their male Recruiters. As a woman, it’s very telling when the men get recognition for things the few women in their office are excelling at, while bringing in more results. In addition to this, Nesco places no real value on their Recruiters. They have implemented an intense training program for their Business Development Managers on how to secure viable accounts. However, they have raised the standards for Recruiters and don’t plan to pour into us until late 2023 or later. This is a company that cares more about who they can say they’ve worked with than the people they have working for them. They build up their outward appearance with no care for their inner workings. They have a tendency to move the goal post per employee. For example, there are standards that everyone is expected to meet, mostly in order to prove productivity. However, there are certain people in the office that aren’t held to those same standards. They tell us that we’re able to figure out how we recruit, since they know there’s a lack in training, but I’ve seen them fire people for not meeting the standards. While others get raises and promotions for doing half the work of a fired employee. I’ve heard multiple stories of employees getting let go out of nowhere with little to no warning. I heard they fired a handful of employees who have expressed concerns about their job security, and simply asked about ways in which they could improve their performance. My advice to you would be to choose extremely wisely if Nesco is to reach out to you, or if you see a job opening for their offices. Trust me, you may want to think twice.
