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

Pros

flexible hours I wish I had more positive things to say!

Cons

micro managers terrible sales team everything is more important to them than their employees no sick time only oil and gas so they are not busy at all right now get in good with the CEO and you'll have a job even if you do not do a thing all day new management has ZERO idea how to hire people that will fit in with the team and therefor are losing all the good talent they once had Hire a director that can bring jobs to the company and not bring down the company morale.

Thank you for your feedback and also for mentioning the “fantastic work-life balance” we have here at Talascend. As you know, we are a family-first organization and always provide ample flexibility for a healthy balance in and out of the office. On the contrary, we are sorry to hear about your noted “cons” during your time with us. To touch on a couple of your comments, we would like to first mention that our flexible Friday program is something unique to the industry and is, in fact, based on individual goals set for every staff member. Over the past two (2) years, 75% of the Talascend organization has qualified for this incentive and received additional paid time off as a result. We believe the goals set for our recruiting department are fair amongst industry standards and allows us to achieve our financial success as an organization. Secondly, we are very mindful of our employee’s safety and well-being. We have very defined processes for reporting any “unwelcomed comments/stares” (as you referenced above) to your direct supervisor and/or Human Resources Director if a situation becomes present. Please know that we do not take any claim lightly and will always complete a thorough investigation and resolution to any situation we witness -or- made aware of by our employees. If you feel like you would like to present further information regarding your experience, please feel free to reach out to our Human Resources Director and we will address your claim immediately. If there is anything you would like to discuss, please don't hesitate to call us directly.
