Pros

Great training ground to learn the staffing business, very slick CRM and

Cons

Decisions from COO go straight to the floor with little to no filter by management, entirely too much mid-level management, stymie sales and recruiting on the ground in order for management to feel like they are doing their job, sales people have little wiggle room to make a sale, about 3 too many weekly meetings on a good week, you can make significantly more at another staffing firm with the amount of work demanded of you and the very top sales people can do whatever they want no matter how much they pollute the overall office environment

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
