Pros

I’ve had a great experience working here. The leadership team is supportive, accessible, and truly understands the staffing industry. They provide guidance and direction while still trusting you to own your desk and build your business. The culture is highly collaborative — despite the competitive nature of staffing, the team shares leads, advice, and best practices. What I appreciate most is the autonomy. You’re empowered to run your desk like your own small business — managing client relationships, candidate partnerships, and strategy — while having the backing of a strong brand and leadership team. For someone who is driven, it’s an environment where you can really grow and succeed.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Free alcohol Cornhole Great hours Free booze Free outings

Cons

Literally a sorority and frat house. Managers sleeping with employees Managers choosing favorites and manipulating senior management. Managers lying about employees that aren’t even theirs to get them fired. An absolutely toxic environment filled with trash low life individuals who thrive on bullying and exclusivity. Half the office is a bunch of mean girls who work together to run off hardworking people that can succeed if given a positive environment.

Toxic work environment

Pros

If you enjoy a binge drinking/frat house atmosphere and don’t care about your future or company morale, this place is for you!

Cons

If you are a woman, a POC, or simply a human with decency who is looking for a great career and a healthy work environment, this place IS NOT FOR YOU. Hoping this review might save someone from ever working here. Never experienced such a horrific work environment in my entire life. This is a racist, cliquey, immature, hostile work environment. Anyone with an ounce of morale will either speak up or quit. As soon as you speak up about the corrupt environment, you are gossiped about and no longer supported. Highly unprofessional - and that’s not in a “fun” or “cool company culture” type of way. It’s highly unprofessional in an uncomfortable, degrading type of way. Heard employees make fun of multiple new hires right from the get go. Managers will also only hire “attractive” predominately white, recent college grads for recruiters (assuming the binge drinking is a great selling point for that niche) And those who have already been there for years are brainwashed into thinking a refrigerator full of alcohol is “company culture” and ok to consume at 1pm on a Monday. Multiple rounds of shots at happy hour (could be 6 shots per person) are charged on the company card yet managers belittle their recruiters for not meeting their numbers... TOXIC. Favoritism left and right. Managers gossip more than their own employees do, so they just encourage that type of high school, childlike environment. Higher ups will claim the high turnover rate is simply part of the recruiting industry - when truthfully their management style is garbage, resulting in employees crying everyday in private, hating their life, or moving on to a more ethical recruiting firm with better pay. As soon as I got hired here, recruiters and BDMs were quitting left and right. Most of them warned me of the horrors of this place and my regret is not leaving earlier on. When I saw the married, middle aged male in my office inappropriately touching and grinding on the dance floor with a recent college grad recruiter at a work event, I knew this place was trash.
