Pros

- Strong mission, vision and values. A company that you can truly stand behind - Supportive corporate team that can always be reached and provides assistance immediately - Fun, diverse company that does a lot to engage employees and get involved in the community. Roth Staffing's purpose is "To make life better for the people we serve." This truly comes out with the way that they treat their employees internally and people outside the company as well. - Management team at local, regional, and corporate levels are incredibly supportive and give clear direction on expectations and a success path for development within the company....You can tell that they truly care about you and want you to succeed. I have been with the company for over 5 years and this is one of biggest reasons that I stay with the company. I could never work with another staffing company :)

Cons

- I do not really consider this a con, but if you do not love both recruiting and sales, you will not enjoy your position. You have to be passionate about both and be able to manage your time effectively to be successful. I LOVE IT!

Pros

- Exceptional culture for any firm, but especially in the recruiting/staffing industry. - Strong reputation in the industry and the markets served. - Great benefits, competitive salary, strong bonus program, work/life balance. - Professional organization with people who like to work hard but have fun. - Executive management genuinely care about doing what's best for the people in the firm. - Regularly give back to the communities they service, including encouraging coworkers to spend time during work hours every quarter to volunteer, etc. I spent 10 years with another recruiting firm before joining Roth Staffing. At the time I interviewed, I did not really have a desire to work for another recruiting firm as I highly disliked the "used car salesman" reputation of the industry. During the interview process I learned that they were not like any other staffing firm and their focus on Mission, Vision, Values, Purpose and Promise was not just Corporate PR Rhetoric but the real deal. I had a multi-step interview process, first meeting with my direct hiring manager, then the Market Manager, then dinner with Regional VP, a phone interview Sr. VP, and lunch with the Executive VP and a HQ meeting with the Founder/Executive Chairman. They really do carefully vet each manager level hire. Accepting their offer of employment was the best business decision I've ever made and working here has made my life better. I'm able to work hard, make a very good living, make a real difference in the lives of my coworkers, candidates and clients, and I can go home and be able to sleep at night with a good conscience knowing that I haven't had to swindle or cheat anyone or doing something sharky/snakey/salesy aka unethical as many recrutiing firms might. When I heard it the first time that "Honesty, ethics and integrity guide our behavior and decisions" I was sold and I can say that more than any other organization I've worked for, this firm works hard to live up to these shared sets of values and beliefs. The MVVPP that we review every Monday morning are what we all aspire to, some better than others, but the ones that do well here, the ones that have tenure of 10, 15, 20 years, they eat, breathe and live it. The one's that don't, often move on because they just don't share the same values and beliefs. No organization is perfect, there will be bad coworkers, awful managers, there will be ups and downs, but the people of this company are genuinely good people and some of the best in the business. It's my privilege to work with them to "make life better for the people we serve."

Cons

- Recruiting is a unique business and requires a certain mindset/personality/character so it's not really a "con" for Roth Staffing but serves primarily advice to anyone interested in joining the organization as a field worker (recruiter - BSS, BSM, ER, etc.). Make sure that you are a fit for the job - you must be resilient, resourceful, enjoy working with people, have strong communication skills, have sales ability and an entrepreneurial mindset. - The turn over I've seen among the staff is primarily due to a mismatch in a persons stated ability/interest and their actual ability/interest. Many of the recruiters who have moved on have left for internal corporate recruiter positions where they aren't having to "perform" in sales/business development. They're good at recruiting but not in sales. Others that move to other agencies because they weren't performing often experience the same demands and requirements at the new role and move on to another firm shortly thereafter. The grass isn't greener on the other side, the grass is greener where you water it. Our top performers have stuck with the business and usually have very good tenure, tenure unheard of in other recruiting firms, 5, 10, 15, 20+ years.

Pros

-Strong compensation potential if you can last more than 18 months, however 80% of people don't make it that long. - Good opportunity for individuals early in their career who have some interest in sales/recruiting who are very compliant, willing to listen/learn and follow a narrow path. -The rampant turnover can become opportunity if you are willing to be opportunistic and fight to takeover new accounts in the wake of departures -Opportunity to work for a company that has great intentions for making life better in a genuine but that often falls short in execution -Ability to work in a highly competitive industry with both slow and fast sales cycle -Opportunity to hone sales skills on your own but limited opportunity to be challenged or grow in sales technique -Nice 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) but no work from home options for the vast majority of staff -Work life balance is encouraged but difficult to maintain in a busy office while you are trying to grow your book of business

Cons

-Extensive turnover at the branch level makes it difficult to feel like you are a part of a strong team for more than 6 months, ALL roles BSM, TAS, BSS, are constantly cycling in and out. -Very conservative, uptight culture that doesn't treat employee like adults, extremely limited opportunity to work from home, attend networking events, professional conferences, that aren't company endorsed. -Marketing team is constantly running new initiatives that feel more like propaganda campaigns than anything else -Not a great place for opinionated, independent, big picture thinkers, if you are, you will either be forced out or constantly have to bite your tongue. -The company isn't great at setting up their managers for success, tenure/loyality is rewarded above all else, they overload management so the core duties get ignored and pet projects crowd out what should be the mission/main goal -If you stay long enough you will feel pulled between a great income and friends who no longer work at the company who HATE the company because virtually nobody leaves Roth Staffing on positive terms or even amicably.

Hi, this is Adam Roth, CEO, and I want to personally invite you to email me at aroth@rothstaffing.com (or call into corporate) so that we can discuss your insights further. I know that this is asking a lot and I will understand if I do not hear from you, but if you’re open to it, I would genuinely enjoy discussing your perspective further. Your review is well thought-out and well written, and feedback like yours will help us become an even better place to work. But I would like to be able to ask you some questions about the suggestions you propose. The turnover you have seen is not representative for what is typically seen in our offices and I can certainly understand how that can impact your engagement. Thank you for taking the time to fully articulate what you have experienced in your branch office – I sincerely hope to hear from you soon.
