The MOST depressing position I've ever had
Pros
Decent breakrooms, the receptionist for Soliant is the nicest person in the company.
Cons
Run-of-the-mill work, high turnover, micromanagement by managers- the list goes on.. The job isn't hard based on the fact that you're essentially starting up and running your own desk. Many companies have this role and it would not exist if there wasn't work. Where Soliant lacks is that you're placing these well-qualified school professionals into mediocre roles in less-than-desirable areas with laughable pay. Along with the terrible pay the candidates are sometimes forced to choose between having low pay and terrible insurance plans or no insurance. There's a lot of trade-offs for the candidates for things that shouldn't be traded off. My advice is for candidates to get hired directly, however hard it may be- keep pushing. The job is dead-end... you'll get tired of sitting in a grey cube all day hoping one of the 75-minimum calls per day will answer. There's a lot of meaningless grunt work to be done at Soliant. Also, the office loves wasting your time with meetings every morning (information that could easily be put in an email) and an hour meeting every other Friday to recognize top performers. Turn over is high here. Don't be surprised if all that were hired with you are disappearing by the twos. My advice is to stay just enough to get the experience and move on. You'll land a grade-A job right after- I promise.
