Pros

It's a paycheck until you can find something better. The company is so mismanaged that many people coast for years before anyone notices.

Cons

Please consult the review from Jun 5, 2012. It's the only accurate reflection of the company. All of the positive reviews are obviously written by internal marketing; to believe otherwise is delusional. Note the month in which these ecstatic reviews start and the month in which they finally hired a business/marketing strategist. These several "reviewers" can't think of a single con other than "this place is too perfect!" Give me a break.

The Salem Group Response
12y
Any company that has stood the test of time truly has its outstanding employees to thank for it. That said, leaders of such companies will also share that, over the years, there will be undoubtedly be some employer/employee relationships that do not work out. We’re sorry that this reviewer seems to have had an unsuccessful experience with Salem, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. That said, we respectfully ask that all information shared on Glassdoor be factual. To that end, we would like to clarify a few points. Salem implemented an industry-leading Applicant Tracking System in 2012. And on the heels of having our most financially successful years in both 2012 and 2013, Salem purchased and is in the process of implementing a new, state-of-the-art, end-to-end staffing software, organization-wide. We at Salem are extremely proud of the clients and the employees with whom we work. It is because of these people that Salem was awarded Inavero’s Best of Staffing award, for both client and talent service. To refer to our clients as C-list, or to our employees as sycophants, is misleading and disrespectful. Additionally, to impugn our employees’ character by suggesting they did not write their own reviews discredits the individuals who were kind enough to share their thoughts with Glassdoor. Salem understands that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and we encourage the sharing of such opinions. We ask, though, that all information posted be fully accurate. And, most importantly, we ask people to judge for themselves: reach out to us; get to know us; form your own opinions. Simply put, we at Salem love this company – and we think you will, too.
