Pros

Decent pay for those early in their career Decent benefits for a private sector company

Cons

-No specific HR person to contact with benefit/pay questions (notice that even in the reviews where SSG comments, they only reference a generic HR email contact. As an employee, it's the same general email with a different person responding to every inquiry or step in the inquiry process) -If employees make other employment plans for their next assignment, SSG cuts their employment earlier than stated in their signed contract (which may affect their health insurance coverage) -Promise to provide a clinical manager to support therapy staff, but often that person is overburdened with too many other responsibilities and isn't very available -Recruiters who add little, if any, value or support to the employment experience -Pay tops out pretty quickly with increased experience and negotiating a raise is difficult to impossible -No 401(k) match or retirement contributions provided by employer

Easy job but too much micro management

Career services manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy job and work from home right now allows for a lot of flexibility

Cons

Too much micromanagement. Having to meet a certain number of calls and minutes every day is a waste and busy work. If you are able to do your job what does it matter how many calls you make every day? Also being asked almost daily what you are working on by a director level manager is ridiculous, especially when you constantly are exceeding and meeting goals. Conference calls almost every day to go over what you are working on is a waste of time. Uncomfortable conference calls when directors call out employees in front of everyone, deal with issues in private. Insurance premiums are ridiculous, extremely high and unrealistic for the salary you make. Never received any information on commission structure or details. Have had to get commission corrected multiple times and constantly send reminders to receive bonuses. Be sure to keep a document of commission details ensure you are receiving the correct amount.

Pros

NONE , NONE, ZERO, NOTHING, NOTHING

Cons

- not as transparent as they claim to be -Favoritism ( they will give their favorite recruiters candidates and the states with the most ACTIVE roles atm-and will stick everyone else wherever -In office 5 days a week THIS IS JUST A GLORIFIED CALL CENTER- we are the only ones in office. THE ENTIRE COMPANY IS REMOTE. -Will try to chastise for not making 50 calls/day but the Account executives can literally make you lose candidates due to NO sense of urgency, no real jobs, or real bill rates. -doesn't know how to lead a team/branch, is to buddy buddy with some of the recruiters which caused a division in the beginning and wasn't addressed until recruiters were about to quit. -3 of us resigned in 4 days ! -HAD TO PUT MY REVIEW ON GLASSDOOR SINCE THEY DELETE GOOGLE REVIEWS.
