Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Seriously the worst and most unprofessional company that I’ve ever worked for. I’ve noticed that the turnover rate is insane and most employees don’t stay more than a few months. The pay is so low you can make at least 10-20k more working for other companies in the same field. Everyone hates this place! They hire recruiters salary so they can stress you out work you 12 hrs a day and only pay you 40k or less. Everyone is pretty much hired right out of college because they know they are inexperienced and more willing to accept low pay horrible benefits and their toxic work culture. They move employees from multiple departments because everyone is literally quitting every week. Leadership does not support their employees and it’s just a numbers game. Management forces current employees to give good reviews online and for their best and brightest award. Seriously if they are the “best and brightest ” why is everyone quitting? If you’re looking to establish your career please don’t waste your time they will do absolutely nothing for you.

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

Pros

-Depending on the team you are on they are supportive -Good Entry Level job in the recruiting field

Cons

So while Epitec is a good place to work fresh out of college I wouldn't recommend you stay more than a year or so. The fact is that this company is all about numbers. It is truly a sales position and they push you to meet those numbers. While not every account manager is bad depending on the team you go on you are screwed. Lots of managers micromanage you and are constantly looking down at your numbers while some will support you. I have had the opportunity to work on several teams. A lot of the account managers are a bit clicky and if they don't like you they make it very hard for you to stay on their team. I have witnessed an account manager bully someone into quitting. The managers are also not prepared to train you. Like I said depending on the team you will learn and grow well at Epitec. The training sucks. You spend a few weeks learning things sure but then you are deployed and see how woefully unprepared you are for the position. Technically your account manager is supposed to continue training you but some account managers don't even know how to recruit so unless you reach out to other recruiters you are stuck. Thankfully I met a team of good recruiters and would call them and they showed me things I never even learned in training. It's so weird that half of the account managers don't even know how to train their own recruiters. Some of them look down on you as well. They say Epitec is a place where you can reach out to your managers or even your CEO and again in some cases it's true I have had a chance to speak with a high-up manager Rebecca and while a bit intimidating she gets things done. I have on the other hand reached out to account managers who ignore me or leave me on read. While I understand some of them are busy it's ridiculous how much you are ignored. They also preach about diversity here and let me tell you more than 85% of the staff are white and while they mean well some of them are so detached from the issues people of color face they can be insensitive most of the people here are privileged hell some of the higher up management golf together and all they talk about are private schools and vacations things they earned off our backs. There is also the pay I worked here for a few years and there are recruiters that just come in and are making more money than I am. I have been moved around to different teams and was stuck with a manager that couldn't bother to train me and did not respond to my messages and good luck with HR because the managers there are just as stuck up they have the nice polite HR tone but it's the things that they don't say that really get to you. The manager I worked under made my life such a nightmare I spoke to other managers about her and they just shrugged it off like "that's how she is". I worked under this manager for only a few weeks and yet somehow while giving me a performance review and I was denied a raise that was promised to me for my efforts before I moved to that team. Imagine being praised and recognized for your efforts and being promised something only to have someone that has only known you for a few weeks tell you that you are inadequate at your job and won't be getting a raise. On top of that, I recommended a few of my old college acquaintances to work at Epitec and some were getting paid 10k more than me! This place has made me feel bitter and tired and stressed out. Not to mention the crazy GPA requirements they have for you to work here. They really mean it when they say they want someone with a 3.0. Then the managers are judgy they make fun of people that have been in the service industry even though plenty of recruiters that worked in restaurants are thriving here. Oh and you better read the contract you signed!!! They will sue you. They are in the process of suing serval people now (I'm sure we aren't even supposed to know people are being sued but the managers here are gossips! We hear everything that's going on heck get a few drinks in some of them and the things you will hear smh) that left to go work at places that are paying them way more money!! I mean they are offering 40k for you to run yourself ragged when most places can offer you 55k and up with just a year of experience. SHAME ON YOU EPITEC.

A $10,000 pay difference may result from the commission pay, incentive pay, or the employee's applicable job experience and capability. A 3.0 GPA or higher is required for Recruiters because understanding and applying technical concepts presents a hardship for lower GPAs. Most of Epitec's recruiters, managers, and senior leaders have service and retail experience. Service experience is revered and present in many of our successful team members in all positions of the company. I would encourage any Epitec employee that is not getting a response from their manager or that is having difficulty with training to reach out to me directly. Please email me at mjruma@epitec.com
