gpac reviews

A lot of the reviews seem forced and fake. If they are great, they are coming from those with nothing and haven’t experienced working for a great company that actually supports their team without the mentality of draining them of their freedom. You have to work for that! Or great reviews are from those who were sucked in, never left, damn near selling their soul and values for a trip. Majority of these individuals are also white. There’s not too much diversity across the organization…the small pac of individuals of color are preyed upon including those that really have nothing else but to work for this company. If they don’t see value in you, they’ll hire you but use you down! I’m just several weeks in and several new hires and a “vet” almost a year-in has expressed quitting. Their approach is weak and dodgy. You go to training where they say “you’re learning something new” “it takes time” etc but will hound you and be petty over the smallest things while you’re in training. Micromanaging any efforts and forget it if you have a bad day or any personal challenges, did you make sure to call 300,00 HAs/Candidates before you managed to be sick this morning?? Your well being comes second, the business first. Any company that makes as much as it does but withdraws a tool cost from your checks is a red flag. We’re paying to work? Coaches and regionals don’t have any respect for your personal time and will send a DM and countless emails about how your day isn’t done but they can start and end their day when they please. Your family, children, health, responsibilities, anything aren’t important and second to the business. But let them tell it, they worked for that privilege but no matter what there should be respect.

Let's begin with this. You are told when you are hired that you are self-employed. So why do we get a W2 instead of a 1099? The next thing is they expect you to get on the phones the second day of training. We are treated like a call center rather than an Independent Search Consultant. We don't even know how to use the tools yet. They give us a horrible list to call from that is supposed to be our "DIG" in their system called FortPac but who ever put it in the system did a horrible job of it. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Here is another "odd" situation. We are given a ghost candidate to market when we start so we have someone to bulk. Now bulking is when we send a potential candidate like a Lawyer to a hiring authority. We send it to all the hiring authorities at once so it will email them all about one candidate. They think we all learn at the same level, which isn't true, and you can tell by the looks on their face and the shortness they give to us how obvious that is. There are so many trainings and meetings, that you can NOT make the 70 to 80 outbound calls per day and accomplish the rest of the list that you are demanded to get done. You are monitored like a child of all your activity and constantly harassed with a question of, "Why didn't you _________? You are told that they know what they are doing so just follow the directions and trust the process. Again, this is supposed to be our self-employed business. We are just another step of their plan to be information gatherers for GPAC. I have seen in their "no recording" meetings that these particular coaches say, they do not record because we are all adults, and we should feel free to say or ask what ever. I have seen some of these same coaches be disrespectful and degrading to newcomers. I have seen coaches talk about culture, respect and common courtesy but are the biggest hypocrites of those same terms. I have seen people fall off like dead flies. One minute they will be there one minute they are gone. I have seen co-workers click up together to corner opportunities that should be fair game. I see a blind eye from upper management when certain issues have been brought to their attention. I have been told to be quiet or I'm at risk of alienation or better yet “let go” from an opportunity that I am told is one of the best, but really it’s not. No wonder they are constantly recruiting recruiters. I have seen people work far beyond an 8-hour day but get paid only for an 8-hour day. It's a silent fact that you're required to work more hours in the day and get paid only for an 8-hour day. You will get patted on the back if it looks like you'll make money but the moment you have a slow time, you are back to waiting in line for assistance or being told you had a low number of dials. Even better, if you were clocked in at 8 and by 10 you only had 10 calls, you can believe you're going to get a call or glip. (Real time communication between us)asking what’s going on and we should pick it up. Here is one of the last things I will say. We all were asked to write a review by the CEO or owner. I guess we didn’t move fast enough and the next thing we all saw was, You guys want to get paid on time but you can’t write a review. That’s not verbatim but that is exactly what was glipped to us. It’s Wednesday, I stopped clocking in on Monday. It’s safe to say I’m done with this front this company puts on. One big happy family. (joke) I can do without this culture. They are not honest about quite a few things.
