Pros

This was a great company to work for last year, before the oil & gas recession in Denver & all over the US. They lost a lot of business as a result.

Cons

I had a recruiter sabotage an interview with a client. I was trying to reschedule the interview that I had missed because I told her the original time requested wasn't a good time. I merely needed another interview time. She called me unprofessional because I told her I had a planned car maintenance the day she wanted me to go on an interview. Mind you, the interview was supposed to happen earlier in the week! She accused me of swearing at her, which I never did. I called to complain to the office manager, only to find out she'd told the entire office I swore at her. I told the manager I had a positive history with good past assignments and interview Why on earth would I screw up an interview for a job I really wanted?? I personally think the recruiter helped a friend get the job I was trying to interview for. The client was interested in me & she had to find a way to get another candidate approved before me.

Pros

Opportunities to try new things and take a leadership role in different areas. In general, the people were great to work with and were people of integrity. Leadership tries to be transparent.

Cons

Constantly changing leadership and start-stop mentality which can be frustrating and lead to burnout. Low salaries for many employees despite the amount of work and "flexibility" required.

Pros

You get a lot of entry-level human resource training and exposure to the staffing industry. Great place to get your friends temporary positions. You learn human resources legal hiring paperwork: criminal background checks, drug screens, EEOC, I-9 verifications, W-4, education verifications, and employment verifications. This positions allows you to help manage 6 staffing manager's calendars, screen the phone calls for the recruiting team, answer general human resource questions for all candidates working. Process weekly payroll for 300 candidates. Not very complicated, but you have to call and email all candidates that have not submitted their timecard each week which gets old. You have to learn a lot initially, but once you get the hang of the paperwork and data inputting of candidate files, the work gets monotonous.

Cons

No room from growth. All front desk coordinators start out as temporary employees until all 6 managers decide they like you. Employees that last in this position are very high energy, agreeable, organized, and don't mind sucking up. If one of the staffing managers does not like you, you probably won't last. They expect you to stay for at least 1 year, max 2 years. They say they'll help you find positions after a year of tenure at their clients, but it's never happened. You work closely with a second front desk coordinator. The 2 front desk coordinators do not sit anywhere near the rest of the company.
