Company centered on greed and exploitation of young workers

Pros

It's a salary... it pays my rent and puts food on the table, and it is 100% the only reason I'm still working at this miserable organization. If my superiors found out I wrote this, I'd be fired immediately.

Cons

Jobscience is owned and operated by the CEO and funded by his octogenarian father, the CFO. Despite being in existence for nearly 20 years, the company still considers itself a "startup" -- an illusion perpetuated by Management to justify their greedy and exploitative practices. Jobscience has developed a particularly callous model; They hire young, naive, and inexperienced new college grads for salaries which in the Bay Area can only be described as poverty wages. The company (bottom line) benefits enormously from the undervalued and underpaid labor of these young workers, who have no real choice but to stick it out until they've accumulated enough experience to leave and go to a real company. The only personnel in the organization who make anything close to a market-rate salary are the executives and managers. Believe me, corporate greed ain't just for the Fortune 500's...

Thank you Anonymous for your candid comments about your experience of working at Jobscience, it is sad to hear that you just “show up to work every day for the salary”. At Jobscience, we are in hyper growth mode and for a small company of around 50 people, the change that growth brings can be unsettling. We offer all our employees market rate salaries as well as valuable employee benefits to all our employees young and old. We pride ourselves in the investment we make in our younger employees including partnering with The Challenge in the UK to create an apprenticeship program, we have built training programs and succession plans for all staff and there is a very clear growth plan for your career at Jobscience. Our year on year growth shows that customers have faith in the leading recruitment platform on force.com and we believe with this new management structure in place that we will continue to see this growth in years to come. We are building an environment of trust. We are about a respectful work environment where people can express their ideas, have honest discussions and in the end achieve the goal as a team.

Pros

Startup-like environment where you can directly see your effect on the business.

Cons

Company has been needing money for a while. Customers hate the product. Always playing a catchup game trying to pacify them. Executive set goals are a moving target leaving employees feeling un-accomplished and frustrated
