Pros

Possibility to make a lot of money, but that's all they are about.

Cons

Management had young, inexperienced employees in leadership roles and they made a lot of mistakes. Would not take advice or suggestions. Shady practices with the way they handle payroll and taxes. Absolutely zero work/life balance, executive leadership expected you to work long hours and miss out on important events and felt you weren't a dedicated employee if you didn't. Insane expectations for performance and they would manipulate things to make sure some made their numbers and others did not.

Rightech has been in the business of providing gainful employment for our employees, as well as creating value and competitive advantages for our clients, for more than 21 years now. With this our 22nd year poised to be one of our best years yet in terms of the number of people we employ and customers we serve, time has proven the worth of our company and the executive team that directs it. Rightech goes to great lengths to build long term relationships with our contract employees. We strive to match their skillsets, experience, and employment goals with job opportunities from our clients that meet or exceed those goals. At the end of the day, without our contract employees we would not be in business. It is therefore absolutely critical that we respect and seek to grow and nurture these relationships. Unfortunately, not every opportunity we try to create works out in the end. We acknowledge that, and always try to do our best to make things right when they don’t go as planned. We are a people company, and we pride ourselves on the integrity we bring to the relationships that we build – both with our clients and with our employees. As with any relationship, especially professional relationships, communication is the key to success. When there is not open, honest, and constructive communication, relationships break down. Spreading unsubstantiated inflammatory rhetoric behind anonymous posts on the internet is neither open, honest, or constructive communication.

Pros

One positive would be the commission plan if it didn't change every three months without any notice or warning. But it's not.

Cons

Rightech is trying desperately to compete in the same arena as companies like MGA, Outsource, and TekSystems and they simply don't have the resources to do so. A small office out of Woodbridge, NJ is the headquarters and the only other office they have is in Maryland which officially opened first quarter of 2017. The other "remote offices" seem to just be arbitrarily fabricated by throwing darts at a map. In my tenure at the company I saw them attempt to expand with offices in California, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Arizona that have all since closed (most within six months of their opening). The turnover at Rightech is staggering. Recruiters, administrators, and account managers alike seem to change with the seasons due to a lack of training, constantly changing metrics and standards, and a general lack of respect for employees. The mantra from upper management at Rightech is "We need a little more from you". This starts with adding a few calls to your daily metrics, which progresses into staying late a few nights a week, maybe a weekend here and there, and ultimately ends with working from 8:15am to 7pm regularly, taking constant phone calls from contractors, clients, and management, and still constantly being told that your job is at risk. These are not "parts of the industry". These working hours are the result of a lack of direction from upper management. Upper management at Rightech has a very limited understanding of proper motivation tactics. There is not a person on staff whose eyes don't glaze over as they fake-smile through weekly training and "motivation sessions" every Friday at four. The motivation for putting in extra hours and making sacrifices seems to be that someday a big project will take off and everyone will be rich, but in the meantime your employees are miserable and making no money. It's one thing to put in long hours and go home with six figures. Despite what you may hear on an interview, you would be lucky to making $60k after 3 years. There was a heyday for the company a few years back when recruiters could make a good living, but the current conditions and markets they are supporting don't lend themselves to that kind of profitability. A new recruiter at Rightech can realistically expect to make between $45k and $50k in their first year. Now that's decent money for someone right out of college with no job experience. But not if you're putting in 60 hours a week. The best motivation tactic that management seems to have is threatening its employees with more time in the office. Instead of delving into why recruiters are having issues, you get the repetitive threat of "If we don't get this filled, I'm going to need you here until 8 or 9 or coming in on Saturdays." If making extra time in your office seem like a legitimate punishment for poor production, there is an issue with how upper management perceives their staff and their company, and work in general.
