Use to be great

Pros

- Fully remote (for those outside of CA) - Base salary for operations people is decent, not great but decent - Great trips over the years that are now limited to 2-3 per year with very high qualification metrics

Cons

- CEO is the only person at the company allowed to make process decision or improvements - has led to bottle necking ideas for the last 4 years. Has also led to nightmare PR issues such as the April Fools Joke in 2024 that every one of her Ops leaders told her was not going to land well. - Recruiters were misled during the hiring process that this was a base salary + commission recruiting firm when in fact it is a draw salary that your commissions pay off first and then you receive commission afterwards. - Both recruiters and operations have gone through pay restructuring leading to a huge dip in people's incomes on both sides - The company is still in financial distress as evidenced by a recent Operations team layoff of ~15 people, but during a company wide meeting afterwards there was still a lack of transparency on where the company is at financially. Unfortunately recruiters are being led to believe we are stable when we are not, but they are smart and can see through the smoke. - Jobot does a great job pivoting and paying for technology that will help the recruiters, but it is launched before the Operations team is actually trained, prepped, and have processes in place to sustain it. This can be seen in our Jobot Consulting roll out (2024 CEO announces Jobot Consulting, recruiters are posting the announcement on LinkedIn, but neither the operations team nor the recruiters posting really knew what the new division was or how we were going to run it). Another example - Jobot Health, we hired the most incredible Locum recruiters in the industry but ~4-5 years later still do not have the infrastructure built that supports them as of today's date. - All of the incredible gifts, trips, perks, flexibility, and family-like atmosphere that drew 800 people to want to work here has now all been replaced with a corporate, strict structure because unfortunately the company ran itself into the ground trying to appear better on LinkedIn than the numbers were on paper. - Unfortunately there is favoritism and protection of people because they are friends outside of work. Only now that the company has to make cuts to survive are there being accountability on numbers, etc. to stay.

Pros

- 100% remote work - Every other Friday off - Health benefits - Good pay rates

Cons

I should've ran at the start. While interviewing, I was advised I'd have unlimited PTO. When I started, I was advised that's only for employees making over $100K. I almost quit, but decided to stick it out. When I started in 2022, it truly was a dream job. Every other Friday off, fully remote work, decent pay, quarterly events with travel / lodging fully paid, even monthly boxes of goodies! In late 2023, things started going off the rails. The boxes stopped "temporarily" (aka permanently), Then, the hiring stopped. Then, our healthcare got cancelled because someone forgot to pay them?! Pretty embarrassing. The events went away. Basically everything that made me excited to join the company in the beginning, went away. It was also around this time that the layoffs began. They will claim they don't do layoffs, but what else do you call it when your company head count is cut by more than 50%? I inquired on multiple occasions as to whether my job was safe. I was assured it wasn't, that my work was high quality, nothing to worry about. I was shocked when I was abruptly let go, via a 2 minute conversation. As others have mentioned here, they advised my firing was due to "performance issues". As others have mentioned here, that is a complete lie. The real reason comes in two parts. One, a position was being eliminated from our IT team due to the previously mentioned layoffs. The company is too small to justify the extra position. Two, it's clear the company rewards sycophancy more than anything. Go onto LinkedIn and look up Jobot posts if you want to see what I'm talking about. The company is not well run. They spend more time working on presenting a polished aesthetic rather than improving the companies fundamentals. I hope they're able to improve and turn it around, as I hate to see so many good people lose their jobs. This would require a fundamental shift in how the company is run, and simply put, it's not going to happen.

Pros

USED TO be a dream job.

Cons

lying, cheating, stealing. Managers taking from employees because the VPs do the same. Misappropriating funds. Health insurance discontinued from nonpayment. The company is full of followers sucking up to management to keep their jobs while people are being laid off but told they're fired for performance. They also reduced a bunch of salaries of the SAME PEOPLE who are still praising the CEO on social media. I'd say stay away but if they ever reopen hiring and you read this and still choose to join the company... you belong there with the rest of the sheep.
