Pros

Free healthcare. Not much more than that.

Cons

Zero work life balance, child-like drama, favoritism, etc. They say turn-around in the industry is normal, but the turn around at this company is CRAZY. I wish I listened to some of the negative reviews on Glassdoor before I started. They bump up their stats on Glassdoor with contractor reviews to make them look better but if you look on LinkedIn at how many people have stayed for only a year or two it paints a picture. Big caution about joining this company- you will not have a life, and when you try to it backfires on you. Many people who have left swear it was the worst job they ever had.

Thank you so much for your feedback; it is truly appreciated. We pride ourselves on being very transparent during the interview process on what the metrics are and what it will take to reach those metrics, which at times, may require working off hours. I am sorry that being held to goals and metrics caused you anxiety, and wish that you had connected with me sooner to discuss all the tools and resources that are available to you to help you make your goals, but also live your life. In regard to our reviews, our business is staffing, so most of our reviews do come from contractors as they out number our internal staff 5 to 1. I would really like to discuss your feedback in more depth. Please feel free to give me a call at 312-450-8700 x 1.

Pros

I have a contracted job at a big company that values me. Not Swoon.

Cons

Low pay. No paid holidays. 5 days to use as vacation or sick time. No communication to see how things are going at the company I work at. The company I work at authorizes a pay raise and Swoon takes more of the raise than they give to me. Health insurance offered does not cover anything major that may happen.
