Pros
The Encompass Group is a great place to work if you are on the HR Technology side. Great leaders/managers and everyone on that team is genuinely a nice and caring person. The Talent Acquisition Division is another story but it is a good opportunity to get an introduction to recruiting and some entry level experience to move to a better opportunity. The benefits are pretty good (unless you have a dependent on your insurance) and you get 4 weeks of PTO (one week rolls over to the next year).
Cons
The management on the recruiting side has a lack of development and understanding of HR policies and procedures. There is a fear of change and if you speak up about something they will isolate you until you quit or they come up with a reason to fire you. They do not have an efficient or structured on boarding process and you get thrown into the work, which has caused a high turn over rate and a high stress environment. They bring people on with a promise of a work life balance, but scold you when you work 9-5 regardless if you are hitting your goals or not. They also have a score card where weekly you are given a grade on various things including your emotions for the week. There is a lack of professionalism and accountability across the board. There is also limited opportunity for growth, with a lengthy process to get to account manager to then be capped out for growth. Low base salary with no raises. When I put in my notice I was treated with an insane amount of disrespect to the point that people were pretending I wasn’t there. This unfortunately is the reality for most that make a transition out of Encompass.
