Pros

The work environment is extremely motivating- the harder you work, the more you earned in bonuses. Wilson promotes great flexibility in a work from home environment. WilsonHCG also gives great opportunities for growth in working direct with RPO clients. They are driven to build strong partnerships with their clients that affects their bottom line, which is extremely rewarding as an employee in Talent Acquisition.

Cons

The only con in working at Wilson was never having the opportunity to meet management face-to-face.

Pros

WilsonHCG was a great place to work. Although sometimes expectations are somewhat high, they give you any means you need to get the job done. The culture is fun and motivating, Wilson is very into social media and contest. You have weekly calls with your manager and team to go over new ideas and ways to find candidates. All the employees are more than willing to help each other, there's no stealing candidates from each other like with other agencies.

Cons

The only thing that personally did not work for me working at WilsonHCG was working from home, I had recently moved to a new city and did not know many people so wanted to work out of the house.

Pros

-Work from home -Mostly great co-workers who work across the country -Reputable clients -Staff/recruit for mostly perm positions

Cons

-Confusing structure (not once did I know how to be promoted or how people got promoted, only that the people "did good work.") -They seem to only hire recruiters or "talent acquisition consultants" on contract to begin with. They typically tell you it should be 3 months before going perm, but myself as well as many of my co-workers never went perm, or it took them a lot longer than 3 months. And of course as a contractor, benefits nor commission or bonuses are attainable - not that they're anything to brag about anyway. -Many lay-offs (due to above) without notice. Yes, a contract means a temporary position, but ANY kind of notice or timeframe of how long the contract lasts would be nice. WilsonHCG style is to let you know the day of that your contract is ending/ended. -Selfish company. They will do anything for a client (including over-promise) but hardly anything for their employees (especially contractors). Definitely make their contractors (i.e. newer employees) feel like peons. I think they mainly hire contractors so they can bill their clients, and will do so for as long as they can, and that's why contracts abruptly end - when they can't bill a client anymore - makes sense, but exactly my point, a selfish company just out to make as much money as they can, and use and abuse contractors to do so. -Working from home was good and bad here. It was great to be able to put in your hours at different times of the day/night, but a lot of times I felt like I was left in the dark and clueless. My "manager" didn't know a lot of the answers to my questions (regarding clients, projects, positions, my contract/situation, etc.) and would either act like she didn't know about things (when I felt like she did) or would never really try to get answers. Many things seemed very shady here. -They keep changing their name (and everything else with it - logo, website, titles of positions, etc.), probably because they need to re-brand and try to gain credibility again each time. They used to be Wilson HR, and before that they were Wilson Recruiting Worlwide, and who knows before that.
