Pros

Up to date technology (but why wouldn't there be for a small corporate office staff) Free coffee, tea, water (but this can be found at most companies) Free food (nothing healthy or promoting employee health/wellness)

Cons

Epitec has to be the most unprofessional company out there. It is ran by an executive management team that has 0 experience with any other company, and with no concept of how a real business operates. I would love to see how they each would do in another setting outside of Epitec. How can an executive management team be compromised of a couple friends with no outsider insight? You will not find anyone hired into management that has experience prior to Epitec. And if they do, they end up leaving just the same as recruiters. The "successful" managers are born and bred from within and mock the unethical actions of the executive management team. From swearing, gossiping, and reaping all of the benefits and high wages while the rest make little to nothing. Each and every single employee is a chess piece and moved as they see fit. People are thrown into positions without consent that they do not even have the proper education/training for. Everything is masked by "fake" happiness to lure you in and keep you working until the spell finally wears off. There will be a fake, nice, response to this review by stating there is a "MUSCLE" acronym that is used in the hiring process. The hiring process is honestly a huge joke and so is the elementary school "MUSCLE concept". It will also be stated to voice your concerns with the COO. However, if you were ever to voice your concern on the job, you would immediately be let go. Oh and the best response has to be the promotion of Epitec being "A best and brightest company to work for". Little does everyone know that award is something that Epitec pays for. Real companies are too busy practicing ethically instead of tying to find every award they can think of to mask their unethical practices. The turnover rate of recruiters, HR and even experienced managers is disturbing. People leave by the hour and it is all for all the same reasons. Please do not waste your time, education and credentials even applying to this place. I feel for all of the people still there, drinking the koolaid until it wears off. Same goes to contractors- find another agency to assist you with your career!

Pros

Free food. Rewards during training. Epitec has been an excellent stepping stone for some of my former colleagues. If you're in HR, this may be a great company to cut your teeth on. You'd get a great density of hirings and firings! Plenty of practice writing and analyzing resumes, which will come in handy with your own.

Cons

Before you read, please understand that prior to Epitec I'd held internships at multiple fortune 500 companies and have seen how successful companies operate from structural, cultural, and developmental standpoints. Beware. The marketing is solid, the appeal and environment are well suited to the recent college graduate. The building is nice, but unfortunately the aesthetics were just that... superficial. I was ecstatic to take the job, and was actually ready for a long and worthwhile relationship with the company, I wanted to buy in. I was fresh out of college was couldn't believe I got an interview so quickly. When the first person in my training group was fired, we were all shocked. Then there was a second... and a third. The strange part was that these people were doing very well, better than most actually. I'd call it random but that's a stretch. To add to the mystery, these people said that during their exit interview, when asked "why was I fired", management stated "we are an at-will company and do not need to disclose that". After one of my newer 'friends' was let go, I was afraid of being fired every single day. By the time I left by my own will, out of 11 people in my recruiting class, 2 had remained. Why I lasted so long I have no idea. People who were outperforming me had been let go. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the leadership meetings to see how this company is truly structured.

Pros

-Remote work -Friendly co-workers -No weekends or holidays

Cons

-Micromanagement is rampant. -Your recruiting leads will be overwhelmingly from making cold calls. -Cut-rate benefits. You would have better quality of care collecting Medicaid without paying OVER $1,100 a month for medical for your small family. -I was terminated without warning, a DAY after requesting a reasonable accommodation for a medical issue. Kinda weird right? -Do yourself a favor, use them to get a little experience if you need to, but don’t give them your all, it won’t be reciprocated. -When you ultimately do get fired, (again, average tenure is around 4-6 months) they will try to scare you out of the recruiting industry with their swiss cheese Non-Compete agreement, which is both too broad and too long to truly enforce. -This company isn’t worth your time. Take it if you need a job ASAP, but if you have other options that pay the same or better, take any of them besides Epitec. -I await a passive-agressive response from the PR team to this review, quelling reviews, and trying to represent the company in a positive light. Save it. Not EVERYONE who reviews on here could be wrong.

Since 1978, Epitec operates as a responsible and law-abiding employer. As the COO, I work directly with Epitec's Senior HR Manager and legal counsel to explore and determine if an accommodation changes the work environment or how things are customarily done that enable a qualified individual with a disability to enjoy equal service opportunities. Reasonable accommodation includes adjustments to assure that qualified individuals have rights and privileges equal to those of participants without disabilities. The ADA does not require programs to provide accommodations that pose an undue hardship. Undue hardship results from an accommodation that causes significant difficulty or expense. For example, an accommodation that significantly and permanently changes core working hours or the requirement to attend team meetings negatively impacts customer service and produces an undue hardship. Epitec understands that most accommodations are not expensive, nor do they involve much effort to implement. Epitec is eager to work with our employees' reasonable accommodation requests. Medicaid is typically not an option for those with wages above a set threshold. I am sorry things did not work out with you here at Epitec. Epitec encourages each Hire to understand their compensation, benefits, and the roles and responsibilities of the position before they accept employment with Epitec or another employer. We are eager to share Epitec's documented process maps, training, and performance management expectations. Please reach out to me directly to discuss this further at mjruma@epitec.com
