      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

      Quick onboarding process. Great response from recruiters during communication.

      Cons

      Come across as shady at times. Very open when discussing salary at the beginning, but clear information regarding vacation and benefits is not given until after employment offer has been accepted. Lesson Learned! Three weeks vacation agreed to verbally, but offer packet simply says "Vacation Policy for Hourly Deployed Employees" which I later found out meant they include 8 vacation hours following a 260 straight time hours worked. Bottom line, ask questions, and get it in writing! Benefits very expensive.

      Pros

      Paid weekly and on time

      Cons

      Vacation / Holiday Policy is difficult to navigate. Paid additional 8 hours for every 260 hours worked. You need to set that aside for company holiday so your check is not short when company holidays arise.
