Pros

Decent pay, stable schedule, bonuses, benefits.

Cons

This position was very “sales” driven, so if you’re not into the actual recruiting by calling people all day then do not do this. Also, your job success relies on other people which is a rough thing to deal with. This office seemed to only care about filling orders no matter what they had to do (aka falsifying drug tests, etc. ). They treat candidates like children, scolding not coaching these people which results in a lack of respect and unprofessionalism which then equals high turn over. In an office of 6, 3 of the girls were extremely unprofessional creating a very toxic workplace. They will smile in your face and talk about you by whispering to each other (all extremely obvious), texting each other about you (making it extremely obvious/obnoxious and distracting to work on a daily basis). They definitely have a clique. They didn’t just treat me like that, they treated another girl like that too. The first week I was there they were already talking negatively about her to me. Which I reported to management. Nothing changed and seemed to get worse. They make you feel like you’re in high school. Put my two weeks in and they dismissed me early. I was glad to leave, and relieved. Stay away from this office, unless you like that kind of work environment.

Pros

The location previously had a strong reputation in the community. The former team demonstrated genuine care for both clients and candidates. Employees created a positive and collaborative work environment. Customer service and staffing support were once considered high quality. Older reviews indicate a history of strong performance and client satisfaction. The review acknowledges appreciation for previous staff members, showing there was a solid foundation and culture at one point.

Cons

Significant decline in workplace culture after the management change around October 2024. Communication has become inconsistent and unreliable. Concerns regarding transparency in operations and decision-making. Employees, candidates, and client companies reportedly feel poorly treated. Perception of misleading information being provided. Loss of trust and credibility compared to the office’s previous reputation. Current experience no longer aligns with the expectations set by past reviews and performance.
