Pros

Free food and it will make you VERY appreciative of your next job.

Cons

First off, they just wrote below me about 5 reviews on May 12th. What are the chances that that many people reviewed them on May 12th? Those are obviously fake reviews which should show you how ethical this company is. I actually did well at Epitec and got placements. I even got one when I was training.. It was pretty unfortunate that the person who was training us actually made the commission on it. They have you "fake source" while training and then they (management) uses the candidates you round up for real jobs and they make commission on them when you could use those candidates when you get out of training on your positions. They pull you in with all of these glamorous trips and prizes but you will notice the same 5 people win (these are the people making commission on your candidates). You will make friends here and then they will walk them out in front of the entire office when they aren't making numbers by the third week and then management will laugh about it. They micromanage you the entire time by sitting behind you (literally in your cubicle) to monitor your performance or if you want to call and screen a candidate, they go sit in the room with you and listen to the call. As for contractors, do NOT contract with this company.. Go somewhere where you are valued and can make a career in your role and not a quick contract. This is not a fun working environment, the drinking and high school atmosphere gets old and even if you do well you will eventually want to get out and enter the "real world" and land a job where you can make good money with the education you worked hard for. My advice is go work for a company where you aren't afraid to put pictures on your desk in fear you will be packing them up next week.

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.

Pros

I made at least one good friend from this place that no longer works there, but we still keep in touch. Other than that, nothing.

Cons

Everything. A nightmare to work there. There is a lot of favoritism involved and the turn over is ridiculous. I've experience people being fired after a week of being there for no good reason. If you're looking for a job just to make some pocket cash, then this is the place for you.

Our people are the sharpest, most capable, driven employees in the industry. According to the most recent available data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the expected tenure of the workforce’s youngest employees is less than 3 years. In fact, resumes today are filled with 1-2 year stints. A large portion of our current recruiters and prospective recruiters are Millennials. Ninety-one percent of Millennials (born between 1977-1997) expect to stay in a job for less than three years, according to the Future Workplace “Multiple Generations @ Work” survey of 1,189 employees and 150 managers. That means they would have 15 – 20 jobs over the course of their working lives. The time spent at each job is getting shorter and shorter. Employees are challenged to get the most out of their employer. Employers are challenged to get the most out of their employees. It takes work to make it work.
