Most stressful time of my life

Pros

Office culture is supportive at times and leadership does want to see you succeed since they are invested in you. Small company so plenty of one on one time with management if you need it. High earning potential, if you are willing to sacrifice work-life balance. Goals are laid out and organized (whether they are realistic or not) so you know what needs to be done.

Cons

Training was very weak, expectations are unrealistic so you are constantly stressed about getting fired. There is high turnover and competent people have been fired or threatened to be fired if you don't "hit numbers" that may not be realistic. You are on the phone all day calling people who don't want to speak with you, like a telemarketer. If you have no shame and no social life, you may excel here. Office culture was okay but the group outings seem forced and not genuine. Very long hours and expected to work weekends. Extremely stressful. Everything is about money/numbers, so for culture/values I give the lowest marks possible.

Terrible Culture and Management

Pros

Money is good. It has to be to get people in the door there. Great team members to work with. Would be a great place to work if not for management.

Cons

Tons of turnover in the Columbia, MD office. Losing a lot of good talented people. Most of them left due to management in that office. Multiple people have given feedback to leadership about this, but seem to do nothing about it. As long as the numbers are good they think he must be doing well. What they don't see is him using fear to motivate people and put them down. I've witnessed scream at employees, put them down and make fun of their appearance. This manager is totally unstable, yet leadership allows this to continue to happen. If you don't come in and close business immediately you'll be looked at as a bad hire. They'll do nothing to help you get up and going. They've also made a strong effort to increase their ratings on Glassdoor by pushing current employees to leave positive feedback. If you look back at earlier reviews you'll see why.

Pros

The pay is a decent base but that's about it

Cons

Where to begin?... This place is a complete joke and they act like who they are. All Aerotek rejects that thought they were business savvy enough to start their own company. Small shop with managers that have no people skills at all but yet they feel the need to operate like some huge conglomerate. TO ANYONE INTERVIEWING OR EVEN CONTEMPLATING WORKING HERE.... RUN FOR THE HILLS BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. 3rd part agency recruitment is tough in general. You should at least be at a place that won't make you miserable. Plenty of other options out there
