Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.

Pros

None that I can think of. This place ruined my life.

Cons

Exploitative WFH culture that weaponizes visibility, and protects middle management amid destructive behavior fueling a moral hazard issue whereby bad leaders put on “face” and feel invincible. Unusually long “meetings” (1.5+ hours) of managers fanning their superiority and belittling you, or at best focusing on short sighted optics. Members of my team routinely compared notes on concerning behavior. Recruiting, many sales regions and pricing are clown cars of bad management. Don’t expect fair compensation or investment in any capacity regardless of how well you perform or what they have promised. Being a high performer does not change that - they simply learn to game you. These issues are so deeply entrenched due to moral hazard that they’re baked into the culture. Echoing others: “You will need therapy during and after ” but they will not pay you enough to afford it. They manage by micromanagement and fear. “Even if you do a great job if you are not a favorite you will have a difficult time here. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing your job if you are not accepted, however I think that’s their strategy,” said another and to add to that, credit for your work if arduous will go to someone else, and they will leave you with crumbs of recognition for work that required no business school degree to double down on hiding what you had to offer. A senior sales lead who generated boatloads in revenue before departing described her experience in meetings as being treated like, “Little girl, go sit in the corner.” That captures the dynamic precisely. I felt seen hearing that.
