Pros

The recruiters, account managers, payroll department are all awesome people. You'll get good experience and GTR is a resume builder.

Cons

Management is a disaster. Turn away while you can. The CEO does not even know how to work the database. He does not care at all about his employees. He walks around bragging about his million dollar lake house while the heat in the home office is broke and his employees are left to work in 56 degree weather in the dead of the winter. He has constant mood swings and is extremely unprofessional. He in unrealistic in his expectations of his employees. Expecting them to work 6 days a week when he's only in the office 2-3 days a week. The VP smothers her employees until they are blue in the face. Expecting the sales team to write out an explanation of every call and turn that into her at the end of every day. I don't think she knows what praise is. I've been here for over a year and only heard positive feedback once or twice. So quick to reprimand- so slow to praise. It's been a while since she's actually done the job herself and I firmly believe she doesn't remember how. Constantly asking for help and her only response is "keep chopping down that tree," but never given help on how to do so. She has created a system that makes employees scared to mess up. Instead of learning from mistakes, it's best you just don't make them because the consequences are so extreme. Management had created an environment that stunts the growth of employees rather than an environment for them to thrive. A plant cannot grow when there is a weight standing on top of it.

Global Technical Response

I appreciate your feedback and I'm truly sorry you feel this way. However I'm happy to hear that you believe our recruiters, account managers, and payroll department are all awesome people. I couldn't agree more! As far as the personal attacks on myself, I do appreciate the constructive criticism and I will take a hard look at myself. It is definitely not my intent for any employee to feel this way.. I do however take exception to your review on our vice president. I couldn't disagree with you more, she has been one of the biggest reasons Global has grown from a 2 person office to 12 offices throughout the Midwest and sales that have increase all but one year since our inception in 2002. Her level of professionalism, her work ethic, and her ability to develop employees is second to none. To say anything negative about her is comical to me, especially with the amount of success we've had over the past 15 years. Again we do take these reviews very seriously, and we want nothing but success for everyone that works for us. If you are truly a current employee please come talk to me with some suggestions on how we can change things for the better. That's how we'll grow as company Thanks

Pros

Your co-workers are mostly young, fun, and easy to get along with. Paycheck. Good stepping-stone job if you can’t find anything else. That is pretty much it.

Cons

EVERY POSITIVE REVIEW YOU READ ON THIS PAGE WAS SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGER. If you look they all mention the same things and usually come directly after they receive a bad review. All bad reviews are pretty much 100% spot on. Where do I start? The manager is very quick to scold but will never give out compliments. Extremely micromanaged. Make a sale to fill an opening but then Global Technical can’t fill the position unless it is extremely basic. Poor commission. Horrible culture, high turnover. Zero work flexibility. Manager makes you feel bad for taking off work and tries to convince you not to. Unethical practices by promising clients and job candidates things that Global Technical is not capable of.

Pros

Nothing. Don't work here. Ever.

Cons

No baggy pants = no blacks fit in tight spaces = no overweight people work with small parts = women for small short term temp jobs. This company had/has many 'secret' discriminatory terms in their applicant tracking system. Recruiters often pushed back against these illegal practices but were coerced by salespeople and management to follow the illegal hiring practices. Truly a con job.
