Pros

Small company where you get the opportunity for lots of face time with leadership. Close knit office with a casual atmosphere. Reasonable commute from my home and close to shopping, so I could run to the store for milk, diapers etc on my lunch break.

Cons

I was hired because the company wanted to address compliance issues, but made no effort to make changes based on findings. All I did was make enemies in the branches and my position was ultimately eliminated after 9 months. I found out later that TRN bought out a smaller staffing company in the south and also eliminated the entire healthcare branch they opened at the same time I was let go. I was contacted by a TRN recruiter a year later to ask if I wanted to come back, which I would never consider. My first manager was gossipy, narcissistic and unprofessional. I enjoyed working with the ladies when I moved departments close to the end of my employment there. Another concern was TRN’s tendency to keep all power concentrated within their dysfunctional family. They absolutely exploit the temporary workers and many of their employment practices are unethical if not outright illegal.

Pros

The employee engagement activities can be fun.

Cons

When I first joined the company, I was under the impression that I would be constantly making commissions as an account manager when making hires. Only to find out on my first day that I had to make a certain amount of GP before I could start making money. In my tenure there, I saw five new people leave quickly. That’s a sign that there is something broken with the company. And the company branch isn't big! We had redundant meetings on where you were at with your orders. At one point, we had 11 meetings weekly, talking about the same things. That’s not to keep us on track, that’s about control. You will be asked to work with impossible clients on trying to fill hires for them, and in the same breath they will ask “Why is your GP not where it needs to be?” The micromanaging was also frustrating. I will never forget being berated by my VP via email in front of my team. It was so humiliating. This company has been struggling for a few years, due to the tightening of markets and the rise of ai, and have done multiple layoffs in the past. The company has lower than average holidays. They would rather promote burnout than giving employees rest.
