Pros

Senior management comes in late on Mondays and leaves early on Fridays (or doesn't come in at all) so all employees can do the same. Don't have to learn Windows 10 since all of the computers still run Windows XP. Everyone shares new job leads with each other to help get out sooner.

Cons

No morale. No leadership. Like serving time in a prison. If you're not part of the CEO's inner circle (and a convulsive smoker) you're on your way out and don't know it.

Thank you for your review. I'm not sure of your former position with the company as our current Director of Recruiting has been with us for more than 14 years. Nonetheless, I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. Regarding work schedules, we allow our managers to establish customized work schedules with sales and recruiting staff members to create a desirable life-work balance while still maintaining high level performance accountability. Senior Management responsibilities may not be accurately perceived by everyone but those should be communicated. Following my appointment as President in late April, we have instituted several changes that include stronger communication, greater employee interaction, and business model changes to improve delivery. Talascend is committed to building a great work environment. Jason Dawson - President

Pros

Nothing that could stand out.

Cons

Management is scrambling to figure out how to run the company. In the past two months, they've lost about 10 employees. They're currently grasping at straws

Thank you for your review. Change is never easy. At Talascend, we modified our business in late April in order to improve our services and create a better work environment across the US. You have my sincere apologizes if you didn’t feel you had a voice here at Talascend. Rest assured we are listening now. Our path upward is dependent on employee collaboration and creating win-win solutions for all. Being a Veteran Owned Staffing Company, we are constantly reminded of the importance and value of service. Jason Dawson - President

Thank you for your review. I’m pleased to hear about the Talascend Family feel. This is important to us and we wish all employees to be part of our family. Being part of a family is more than just employing nice people, however. We need to create a work environment where people can perform at their best and know that we have each other’s back. Talascend is instituting work environment improvement plans that include flexible work schedules, employee activities, and open forums for people to share their voice helping us create our future. We not only want our employees to feel like family but to also feel that Talascend is their home. Jason Dawson - President
