Awful Workplace - Low Morale

Pros

Too few to list in this section.

Cons

Wont pay bonus - They fire recruiters prior to bonus payout so they don't have to pay the bonus that was earned. Recruiters stay away! We are coached to tell prospective consultants that the rate will be one thing, then tell the candidate that the client is lowering the bill rate. This never occurs, just a ploy to get more money from candidates. Then tell the employee that the pay rate will be lower after they have already resigned from their past job. Stop being dishonest and maybe you could earn employee loyalty. Lack of diversity for a minority owned company. "Management" asks employees to post positive reviews on this site. "Management" has asked that employees approach them before you post negative reviews on this site. Be wary of the positive reviews you see on this site. Employees are expected to be in the office by 8AM. However its very common for management to be in a half hour to an hour late every day.

Pros

I did not have a single positive experience at Epitec

Cons

Ridiculously horrible training. Training consists of being told to perform a task with very little to no instruction while management is seen online shopping and chatting with other management instead of giving clear instructions and guidance. Management is greedy and out for them selves. They do not care about its employees in the office at all. They only care for the employees in the field who make them money. Absolutely 0 job security and very low pay for recruiters. Management claims that base pay is based on education and experience however, they only hire recent college grads with no experience so all employees pay rates are the same. There is little to no commission to be made. Depending on what team you are placed on out of training, you have a lesser chance of making good commission. You job is in the hands of your sales managers performance and relationship to the customer. If they do not have a personal relationship with the customer, then your numbers will be affected and you will be terminated asap. I highly suggest more than i have ever suggested anything in my life. Do not work for Epitec!

Pros

Salary with benefits - Although it's not competitive at all. Newer office - cubicle style , desk with dual monitors. Company Events - A bit excessive. Needs to be re-evaluated , leads to less productivity. Free food and beverages - Free breakfast at Company Meetings, free lunch during training. Casual Fridays- Allowed to wear jeans when you donate to a good cause. Incentives and Annual Placement Bonus- Eligibility is Conditional. Employees were automatically eligible for bonuses each year, up to 3 yrs. Management changed the bonus structure and was insensitive to the fact that many employees were 1-2 months away from eligibility for the bonus, before it was changed.

Cons

Micro managing - management should allow the employees to do their job with little to no distractions. Things are constantly changing every week - new policies, new hires, resignations, firings/layoffs, mandatory meetings, company outings, and miscellaneous interruptions - leading to low productivity. Stressful place to work- The atmosphere in the office is tense and unfriendly.No job security. You just never know what could happen here. Managers are not very approachable –Mangers tend to be very intimidating. There is an underlying us vs. them attitude throughout the office. Requirement to sign a non-compete agreement at hire. Very little is said about this at hire however it is very important to know about this agreement since you may not be able to work for any other employer who this company views as a competitor. Slow order management - Many Sales Managers assign and keep recruiters on the same job orders for several days, many times for an entire week. This usually causes Recruiters to be fatigued, demotivated, leading to low productivity. Very high turnover- stems from resignations, firings etc. It's the norm here and feels like a never ending cycle. It’s disappointing to see the average Recruiter here only lasts about 5 months – 1yr. Only 3 or 4 Recruiters out of about 22 or so have only been with the company for 2 yrs. Unpaid overtime, long hours (supposed to be 8a-5p). Only hires young people and mostly college grads. Lousy, inappropriate, and dirty jokes at meetings. Unexpected meetings, not very structured. Sales Managers are too selective and do not communicate well. Random policy changes- no consistency. Working with rude Sales Managers with big egos.
