Pros

Cheap health care? Idk man. Avoid it. There other companies giving it away for free! The only good thing about that place is middle management - but only they can do so much with an egotistical, narcissistic maniac at the helm.

Cons

They will hire you to lay you off after assuring you layoffs aren’t coming as long as we keep growing…. 90+% growth wasn’t enough for a failing program and senior management team that doesn’t understand the program and doesn’t invest any time to understand it or worse - try to do things that worked 10 years ago and are illegal today. Further, I get that it’s a remote work environment, but honestly cut it out with your biannual retreats. The last thing I need to know is that the CEO of my company can’t say I love you. We know he’s a narcissist. What I wanna know is why he thinks it’s OK to go back on his word. Why he thinks it’s OK to cheat the system. Why it’s OK to run a company and then get pissed when somebody ripped them off because he’s not trademarked - seriously look it up and maybe rebrand since someone else owns it and won’t give it up since… well forethought would have shown it was up for fair use. What I really want to know is why he thinks it’s OK to recruit somebody out of a great job and then lay them six months later, because of an economic downturn while the program I’m running, and the company are net positive. Further, I really want to know how their mission actually works out in real life. Because from what I can tell their culture does not reflect empowering jobseekers. Especially the ones that they are putting on the market. I got nothing. Two weeks of severance that’s it. Not even a warning. But the company can’t spend a ton of money taking the entire team to Tahoe a week prior 😂. I guess my point is stay the heck away from Jobscan. Don’t do business with them and don’t work for them or with them. Also, if you’re about to get in a people facing roll every single person you make contact with, will give you the same warning they gave me: “Ooof Good luck with the CEO! But we can’t do business with you guys anymore. There will be somebody new in your seat in six months.” How I wish I knew how true that would be. Anyway, take the advice of everybody else, stay away from Jobscan. Stay away from James Hu, and honestly, if you need to get in the résumé building job, search game in this regard look at the competition.

Heart for Job Seekers

Pros

The heart for the Jobseeker is a demonstrated value within the team. We are always reminded of the purpose and our purpose as to why we are here. The open communication channel is an opportunity always to be heard.

Cons

At the moment, being more connected to the rest of the team is a posted challenge due to the remote setup. However, remote set up as its pros as well. I will not really consider this as a major con.

Pros

The company's goal and motivation are commendable. As they aid in helping job seekers have an edge with their preferred job.

Cons

Knowing that Jobscan works by being up to date with the current company ATS, the constant trend to improve and innovate is inevitable. And this requires extra effort, patience, and time as we deal with job seekers eager to land their dream jobs.
