Pros

WFH, nice people (on your team), decent attempts at training

Cons

-Training is silly and seems like it was made for recent grads (which a lot of people are recent grads because they cant get tenured people). Lots of stealth layoffs, firings, and resignations. - the President Laurie Chamberlin has told us to work 40-60 hours a week and to tell her we are part time if only 40 hours. Company culture has gone from being very supportive, fun, and friendly to a KPI driven hellscape that involves talking down to from senior leadership. Micromanagement from the top down. Most colleagues are living in fear of being fired and new hires get fired within 120 days. They tell you you will make a lot of money and it never comes.

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.
