Pros

Great coffee machine , lots of bells and whistles(free food, nice events ) great ATS system and procedures in theory

Cons

To say some managers are morally and ethically reprehensible would be an understatement! They talk the talk but do not walk the walk whatsoever . In such a fast paced competitive field you would think your managers main priority would be forwarding candidates to the hiring managers and following up to spotlight these candidates and keep momentum going. As a recruiter , a good recruiter you have a do it know mentality unfortunately this ball stops rolling on the management end . It seems like things die as soon as you identify a candidate. Some are stuck in screening for 48-72 hours once a manger realizes they dropped the ball they send additional questions (ones you have answered in the many forms you fill up to that point) in what seems asaway to buy time or for lack of a better term CYA. The second and sad thing is when you candidate has a request for interviews and the mangers alert you of this weeks later only for you to see the request was made much earlier. Another is when you candidate is flaking and you don't feel this person will accept the position mangers force you to pressure thecandiate to taking the interview even though the candidate expressed they are no longer interested. Submission to placement is very which will equal low commissions and for some odd reason the recruiter is blamed for this. Another issue is the ethical and moral delinquency. Managers use personal information gained through false sense of comfort and comraderie against employees which lowers moral and creates a hostile and paranoid team

Thank you for your note and for taking the time to write down your thoughts. The coffee machine and our ATS Epilink(TM) are both well revered in the office. Epitec invests heavily into improving our systems and processes and our leadership team. Our systems and our managers are getting better and better each day. We are working to address some of the issues that you have described in that these are business issues that all staffing companies face. We certainly have room for improvement and we will continue to improve. Epitec cares about how we behave as an organization and we care about our reputation. I have a few questions that I would like to ask outside of the Glassdoor's comments. If you send me your phone number or email mark@epitec.com I will call you and set up a time to discuss.

Pros

I gotta say, this place had me fooled for a while. I give them props for that. At first glance, the company culture seems great. Free food, drinks, events, activities, parties, all to make you feel like they actually care about their employees. Most of the recruiters and account managers are nice. It seems like a great company for young people to start their careers. Until you start to see the warning signs. Wish I had seen them before it was too late.

Cons

The reality is, the recruiters here (I can't speak for the account managers) are treated like they are replaceable. Most people don't know it at first, because they treat you well for a bit, until they kick you to the curb with no warning and no explanation of what went wrong. I should have panicked when I saw a few recruiters vanish in one week. I later learned that they too did not see it coming at all and were also refused an explanation for their termination. To my knowledge, these recruiters were doing a good job. I should have taken it seriously when a fellow recruiter let me know that right before I had started, a mass exodus had taken place and that many people were unexpectedly let go, while the rest were scared away. I kept telling myself, maybe this place is trying to change, they seem to be treating their employees well, they might be turning over a new leaf. Guess not. How could I be so blind? I can only think of maybe 4 or 5 recruiters that have been there for more than 1.5 years. For the rest of the staff, it seems that no one is safe. Even hard work and hitting your goals doesn't necessarily mean you'll make it, I've seen this prove true more than a few times. I'm now convinced that there is a lot of office politics going on behind the scenes here, not really sure what other explanation there is. I used to believe that this company was different. Really disappointed.

Pros

Incentivies are good. Not many pros to this place, maybe a good college job....maybe.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging, false impressions and doesn't really care about employees. You're just a number. $$
