Advantis Medical Reviews

I never write reviews, but this was one of the worst working experience of my life. I was originally solicited on LinkedIn during my last semester of college to join the company as a recruiter. Everyone I interviewed with was warm and welcoming. It seemed like a young, fun environment. Or so I thought…I had no idea what I was walking into. As a recruiter, they start you off with what is basically a 3 month probation, or as they like to call it, “phase 1”. You get 2 weeks of classroom training, and then are let loose with very little to no mentorship after. I was one of 15+ new hires in my training class. By the time my phase 1 was over, barely 5 from my class remained - the rest quit or were fired for not meeting the metrics required. I was immediately put off by this. It very quickly became clear that you are viewed solely as a number to upper management, nothing else. Even while I was meeting metrics, I was in a constant state of anxiety - I felt no reward for succeeding and no job security in general. The amount of turnover I witnessed while at this company was unbelievable. Upper management resorted to fear tactics and public humiliation to motivate performance, and regularly displayed each individual’s billing, headcount, # of calls made, call duration, active track from your laptop, etc. for the entire company to see. There was absolutely no trust given to employees. Working from home was a huge no no and if you left at 5, you were reprimanded. There was no work life balance - if you weren’t working 8-6/7 plus weekends, you were looked down upon. Overworking was highly encouraged. Compensation does not make the work worth it, either. Starting salaries for recruiters are 45k (barely livable in Dallas, especially if living alone), and while I was there they completely changed the compensation and commission structure so it was not at all what was originally promised. Not to mention, the benefits suck. Not even a 401k match is provided. To put it lightly, this company is a mess. They hire mass amounts of new grads and young professionals who don’t know what they’re doing (serious lack of mentorship and experience here) only to weed out the majority of them instead of actually investing in them. So many things changed while I was there (I stayed for less than a year) - comp structure, teams resized and restructured multiple times because of the turnover, we moved offices, did an overhaul of all of our software, etc. Very few things went smoothly here. And since I’ve left, the company has gone from around 300 people to sub 100. Every time I open LinkedIn, I see posts of old coworkers who have been affected by layoffs - meanwhile, while upper management can’t pay to retain their people, they’re all taking a company trip to Cabo that they can’t afford. It’s laughable. I would be wary of good reviews. While there, they incentivized their employees to leave positive reviews by paying them with gift cards and other rewards. I really thought that this is how most other working environments (particularly other recruitment companies) would be. I was so wary while job searching, and felt/still feel overwhelming amounts of anxiety around work because of this experience. To current employees - if you are questioning if this is a normal/healthy culture, it’s NOT. There is so much better out there. I work for another recruiting company now, and the difference between the two is night and day. I’ve received so much individual mentorship and ongoing training in my new job, I’m given a lot of trust and autonomy, and the environment is far more secure and nurturing than my previous experience with Advantis. Not to mention, I receive much better pay and benefits now. If I can offer any advice, it would be to stay as far away from this company as you can. Save yourself the time, trouble, and mental toll. Do not work here.

OH where to even begin. This company is truly a dumpster fire and a new grad sweat shop with literally zero structure and extremely high turnover. In 2022, the company was doing well along with the market so they hired 15+ people a month all year with no management or management training to support the massive influx of new people. The entire management team consisted of people that were strong recruiters who were promoted in less than a year then asked to lead teams with little to no guidance. Once the market went downhill in 2023, so did Advantis and they have not been able to recover financially. There were quarterly layoffs, cutting anniversary gifts, cutting the Christmas party and not saying a word about it, cutting recruiting resources that were 'too expensive' which then made it harder to produce, then taking all the top producers to Cabo just to lay several of them off a month later. It really goes to show that they do not value you; if you are going through a rut, they WILL put you on a brief PIP that's nearly impossible to attain then fire you quickly to save themselves money. Not to mention, they also threw an ungodly expensive 5 year anniversary party so they look good on social media, but are laying people off in the meantime. It has also been amazing to open LinkedIn to see them recreating the positions they cut earlier this year to save money. At the time, they thought the positions weren't necessary, only to overwhelm the people that stayed and learn that they do need those positions. To top if all off, the company also took away loyalty bonuses from travelers but still made sure to take a piece of the pie so they didn't go out of business. Advantis required all of management and even some people that moved to different positions that had recruiting experience to come back into production to "keep the lights on," all while managing teams and/or accounts. As the company became less profitable, the toxicity became worse. I used to love coming to work, and I ended up crying to and from the office every day. Management was REQUIRING recruiters to work until 7:30pm and on the weekends if they didn't hit these insane metrics each week, but once people started leaving left and right and their company became extremely small again, they quit requiring it to help the culture. In present day, the company has taken away everyone's one remote day except for their favorites/top producers, and shortened lunches to 30 minutes. I believe this is illegal given that we work 60+ hours a week, but "all hands on deck" I guess. Additionally, the top recruiters are on special lead teams, making it easier for them to stay on top. The managers and President of this company create the toxicity from the top down, but then blame it on the recruiters because they are "gossiping." And the best part of all of this is… the pay was cut 40% to "match industry standards," but let's be real. Other companies that have the commission structure that AMED adopted has MUCH more support, great recruiting resources, higher base salaries, and affordable benefits. How could this company ever ethically ask people to work this hard AND cut their money? Oh, and the amount of money the people at the top make is COMICAL, especially when they are running this place into the ground. The people here are miserable and they only stay because their peers are incredible. I truly have no idea how this company keeps winning awards when they are sinking and treating people the way they do. Looking at the company's social media, you would never know this is happening behind the scenes. This company is a nicely polished turd that's about to flush down the drain. Y'all go ahead and screenshot this now before they big bucks THEY DO NOT HAVE to take it down.
