Not worth your time.

Pros

You get paid time off from the start, which is great. A lot of the people there are very nice (although who knows if those people are still there because it seems as though someone leaves the company every other day).

Cons

This job is basically nothing like management makes it seem like it will be during the interview process. They make it seem like there is such a great company culture and promote themselves on social media sites by using hashtags like #keepgoing, accompanied by fun pictures to show what a great work environment there is. Maybe there used to be a good company culture, but that seems to be long forgotten, which is proven by the high turnover rate. Management is all over the place, and never addresses situations head on, such as team realignments when people quit/get fired. Also, you will be calling people nonstop all day to try to hit your numbers... You will be micromanaged and interrogated when you don't hit the numbers you are supposed to, even when business is slow and it is obvious you are putting forth effort.

Pros

Fair pay No real lunatics running around I have a new job! I get to write my first review ever! I have never written a google review or any type of review for that matter!

Cons

Got lied right to my face about my position within the company. I was fired with ZERO notice. I was never told to work harder or do better. My numbers were very solid at one point. Only reason my numbers went down is because they rely on one financial client who is going threw layoffs due to macroeconomics. You see every review mentions one client, it is Bank of America. I didn't sign a NDA, I was just a recruiter. They kept people who billed much less than others who were impacted by the "reduction in workforce". Finally. They kept a bunch of people living in shacks in 3rd world countries to stay at Matlen. These people are terrible. I think one person had 1,000 submissions at 10 placements, they are that bad. Matlen doesn't care they get paid peanuts. LET ME reiterate they replaced US WORKERS WITH SCABS.

Be very cautious...

Pros

Free coffee, casual dress code, occasional holiday party.

Cons

Be very cautious about joining Matlen Silver. Sure, they use catchy hashtags, like #keepgoing and #ilovemyjob and fun pictures over social media, but it is all a facade. In all fairness, this company is nothing more than a wannabe TEK Systems, but unlike TEK Systems, they are not run by good management or sales people, rather a bunch of immature 20 years olds who are nothing but immature backstabbers. Across all of the offices there has been a lot of recent turnover due to company-wide policy changes and terrible management. Matlen Silver strives to have a national reputation and presence and as a result, they are cutting corners and implementing a lot of cheap policies. There is no trust or camaraderie among employees either - everyone is only out for themselves and their bank account.
