Red Flags

Pros

NJ Office located downtown Somerville

Cons

Instead of cons, I’d like to point out some red flags for young professionals entering the workforce - • If the company doesn’t let employees fulfill their two week notice AND doesn’t pay them out for those 2 weeks, that’s a red flag. • If the company asks you during your interview what outside organizations because you’ll be expected to work long hours, that’s a red flag. • If the company only invests in training for you only AFTER you make your first placement, that’s a red flag. • If the company is showing you their commission structure and its shaped like a pyramid, that’s a red flag. • If the company contacts you while you are on your PTO, that’s a red flag. • If the direct supervisor ignores your active candidates and placements while they are covering for you so you can return to work and then extend an offer, that’s a red flag. • If the direct supervisor leaves you on “read” after asking for assistance, that’s a red flag. • If the direct supervisor sends you chats daily after work hours saying “how we doing,” that’s a red flag. • If you’re only seeing positive recognition for the same 5 employee’s, that’s a red flag. • If the same 5 employees are continuously getting promoted into newly created positions without their previous role being backfilled, that’s a red flag. • If there is no clear cut path to gain promotions or raises, that’s a red flag. • If the company cleans house of 5-6 executive level CEOs, VPs, Regional Managers, etc. and doesn’t explain why or acknowledge that’s worrisome for their employees, that’s a red flag. • If the staffing company JUST created a Human Resources department, that’s a red flag. • If the company doesn’t have any ethical resource groups or diversity in their leadership team, that’s a red flag. I highly suggest every person considering this role to consider these red flags. Please also read the comment below regarding their diversity and social stance.
