Pros

Working from home is good at times

Cons

I used to like it here but in the last few months I've learned about some very toxic and cut throat ways from colleagues that will make it very difficult for non senior sales people to be successful. We are told to follow collaboration codes but many are going behind each other's back to cut other's out. It very hard to compete with other sales people whose been with the company for over 10 years and has a thriving book of business. As a new rep we are also expected to perform at those levels while having the weight of being fired any moment. Recruiting is not as cut and dry and they lose really great employees when add the additional stress. This place has become extremely toxic and very unfair to work with. Sales Executives and Executive Recruiters are calling the same contacts and confusing clients. Executive rescruiters are picking and choosing who the flip jobs to. Let's just say, no new rep is going to be successful if the company continue to operate the way they do.

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.
