Pros

Connexion has a very fun and teamwork oriented work environment. I recently graduated from college in May and applied to Connexion and a few other staffing agencies in the Boston area. Connexion by far was the most relaxed, fun, and helping work space I saw (out of the 5 agencies I interviewed at), and overall is simply an outstanding opportunity for young, ambitious, and hungry individuals who love to see success out of their hard work instantly. The commission structure is truly limitless, the only real limit I find is lack of hours in the day. There is ping pong table 5 feet away from my desk, and if i ever feel stressed throughout the day I simply turn to one of my coworkers and without even saying anything we throw down. Where else can you find that kind of atmosphere? I can honestly say I can be myself every day, and not try to be some rigid corporate structured individual in a suit who is told exactly what jobs/industries he can and can not work on. This company gives you so much freedom and dexterity in what jobs and industries you can work on, and by doing so I have learned so much in the little time I have been here, which is my favorite part of the job. I would highly recommend anyone who is a recent college grad and interested in seeing what recruiting is all about to apply to this company and check out the environment for yourself.

Cons

Occasional time lapses in communication between large companies and smaller, precise agencies.

Pros

This is BY FAR the chillest job I have ever worked. There is no micro managing, managers are flexible, resources/training is readily available. Owner is very involved in the company and upper management generally cares about their employees. There is a ton of comradery on the floor and I genuinely enjoy working with everyone! It's a small company but as someone who has worked in massive companies where I was just a number--I love how valued I feel working at Connexion! Flexible 2 days remote and 3 days onsite is also the perfect schedule for me! Also management is sensitive to any personal emergencies/tragedies, I truly feel like a member of a great team. Thank you for making us feel seen! :)

Cons

It's a small company so obviously you don't get the flashy perks like larger companies offer. But on your birthday you will most likely get lunch to celebrate, milestones are remembered and there's a great yearly holiday party! Of course pay could be higher, however once you start making placements/billing you can make some great money!

Pros

I learned alot about the hiring process, HR, and made some great friends- CEO knows how to throw a party- Emily and Dan were GREAT! I really appreciate everything they have done for me-

Cons

The Providence team has two managers. One is really great- very knowledgable, clear SME in account management, recruiting, and business development. You will learn alot from her. The other manager is a bully- constantly belittling, always speaking down to staff- thinks she is the smartest person in the room but is really the laziest. She does not practice what she preaches and is never available on remote days (honestly not even working on remote work days), poor work ethic, responds to emails days later, and is not a strong leader or teacher beyond the first 6 months. She is rude, transactional, and cold- if you aren’t doing something for her, then she has no need for you. She consistently told her team to “use remote days as chill days, make it look like you’re working, but take it easy”- when this became evident to upper management they then talked to the entire staff (10 people) in one on one meetings where they asked the team for more effort. she somehow avoided any blame and CONTINUED not to work on remote days! On top of that she would have years of meetings with no feedback- and then out of no where threaten security or introduce metrics that were near sighted and were not in line with the statistics set for by the rest of the team. These “new metrics” were enforced using fear tactics and vague timelines coupled with TOO transparent firing of coworkers. There were times when management has created tense, hostile, or just uncomfortable situations….. talent acquisition is not HR, but should still abide by basic HR standards.
