Pros

Remote environment is about the only good thing/flexibility to make own schedule

Cons

-$50k base salary is a joke in this economy. We're doing 3 times the amount of work for low pay.... -I thought working for a global company, with a reputable brand in the staffing industry would be amazing (given they are part of the Adecco group). I've been in the staffing industry for a number of years. This company has SO many issues its insane. They utilize a proactive recruiting approach because the brand is so bad they cant bring in jobs or revenue. They have us send out 2500 marketing emails a week to spam potential clients, selling candidates on the phone, basically sell sell sell, which can come across as desperate. The training was meh, high expectations, taught us how to do the job, but that's basically it. No training on building relationships, how to close a deal, what is the LHH way etc.. Expectations to "graduate" from training are a joke. You need 2-3 temp starts is what they told us but some people graduated getting only 1 temp start, so no clear expectations. -Pretty sure only 2 people from my class of about 20 graduated. That is a leadership issue, NOT an SE issue. Sitting here in October and I think only 2-3 people out of 20 are gone from my class. HIGH TURNOVER. They didn't get fired, everyone pretty much just quit within the first 2-4 months lol. There were several that quit in the first 2 weeks. Management style is different across pretty much every market, each market seems like they are doing their own thing. Leader in my market is just a manager and I don't think he actually knows how to LEAD a team. As someone whom values culture, team building, company values, I have no idea what my purpose is here other than bring in jobs. -Last thing I'll say is the complete lack of development of current employees. You should be focused on helping newer SE's do their job well rather than shoving numbers down their throats every week. Actually get to know your employees, what makes them tick, show some empathy, know how to LEAD, and not just manage Overall just disappointed with the company, leadership, their values, lack of communication, consistency in standards across the board. Have I mentioned they've rebranded about 6 million times in the last 5 years?

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.
