Pros

Inspiring and honorable employees... unfortunate that they are taken advantage of.

Cons

This is not a safe place to work!! They prey on college, young adults, and athletes. Extremely high turnover rate and not because the work is difficult. Constantly threatening employees' job security …told you are being watched via teams and in the office and use this as a threatening tool, which is shown through their micromanagement. Consider themselves to be metrics based when they are favoritism based. Lack of recs each week and some recruiters are given special treatment on recs. They are given before they are released to everyone else so there is no equal opportunity. The management is unavailable, understaffed, and overpaid, while the recruiters are overstaffed and underpaid. Claim to have a "sales program" that has no clear structure or path to promotion. Within this “sales program,” you also do NOT receive commission, which is promoted constantly as an incentive to join the company. A total of 9 people started this program and there is now only 1 person left. There is a threshold before you can reach your commission for recruiters (have to hit 5k before you can receive any money for your work), which they then raised to $500 more… not clear in the contract if they can keep raising it or not. You only get a small % of that so you will basically only see around $900 of the 5k and it is unclear where the rest of this money goes. Suspicion of fraud within the company and a concerning spending problem. Have gone through several accountants. They hide this corruption with the promise that your “hard work will pay off” and that recognition for your hard work is better than receiving pay for work. As soon as you get close to receiving commission they either fire you or raise expectations, so the carrot dangled in front of you continues to move further away. They pick a slim few in the company to be used as examples of what your life “could be” openly discuss the amount of money they are making, and choose individuals to be negative examples and as a demonstration/ warning to others. At least they will take you to a happy hour once a month to make up for cruel and borderline illegal treatment!

We are surprised and saddened to see the number of inaccuracies in this post. It would be difficult to address them as we do not have context/knowledge on some of the things stated here. We highly recommend & encourage anyone reading this review to reach out to any of our employees and ask for their feedback. For transparency’s sake, our compensation is fully and clearly explained in the employment agreement that each employee signs upon starting with us. Not only is there no incident to date of us letting someone go or making changes to commission when someone “starts making money,” there would be no business case for us as a company to do so. We are extremely proud that our overall employee base sees a 200% average earnings growth YOY. This 200% YOY earnings growth potential has also been adjusted for outliers earning far above the average. As far as a compensation change, all employees received a $10,000 base salary raise in 2022 to help with the increase in the cost of living and provide a more guaranteed income structure. To account for this increase in guaranteed earnings we shifted our commission structure to match the $10K raise. There were no changes made to employees’ total comp. Employees at Innovien receive uncapped commission if they are making placements as a recruiter or when they are promoted to account management. To address our sales trainee program, 9 people were a part of this program with two having received promotions, one now thriving in a recruiting role, and another still working towards a promotion. We work with all underperforming employees by providing direct feedback and allowing significant time/coaching to see improvement in their results before any decisions are made regarding employment status. We appreciate your hard work while you were here but agree to disagree with the validity of some of the facts shared in this post. We do not hide behind the fact that this environment is challenging and not for everyone.

Pros

The people - the internal recruiter, Operations team, pit of recruiters, and most account managers are the best people you'll ever meet. Management overworks them & takes all of them for granted.

Cons

They know what they're doing hiring people who are straight out of college. They take advantage of your work ethic & go-getter attitude and drain you of any passion you had. When things go wrong with candidates/accounts, you will always be to blame. Management doesn't take accountability or make changes when things don't seem to be working.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience with our company – your concerns have not gone unnoticed. Our hiring practices aim to provide opportunities for recent college graduates to kick-start their careers, and we value their enthusiasm and drive. It is essential for us to strike a balance between nurturing their passion and maintaining a challenging work environment that encourages growth, discipline, and development. Although we appreciate your advice to reassess our leadership and metric-based system, we believe as an organization that metrics and accountability are necessary to help drive the discipline required for young professionals to achieve success in a very competitive industry. We are extremely transparent with how we work with employees who are underperforming by setting clear expectations about what needs to improve and giving them ample time to make changes to get back on track. As we hire professionals straight out of college, we understand that we may not always find the perfect match of individuals who will thrive and find happiness in the kind of competitive and high-expectation environment that may be new to them as they have not yet had the opportunity to experience different kinds of companies, environments, and roles. Again, we value your opinion and wish you the best in your journey to finding the work environment that is a better fit for you.
