Data Recognition Corporation Reviews

Pros

Broad overview of Human Resources

Cons

Not a fast paced environment

Pros

Great company to work for really seem to care about their employees. Will reward employees for a job well done.

Cons

Smaller company may eventually hit a ceiling. In some areas teaching experience is highly recommended due to the nature of the business.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership is excellent. I think they have done a fantastic job growing their business and being aggressive about expanding without losing the quality our customers expect.

Pros

Decent pay for type of work. Entertaining reading of student papers.

Cons

Work is only seasonal. Not much change for advancement.

Pros

Convenient parking, pleasant coworkers, some team leaders were good, always got breaks and lunches. Sometimes the work could be interesting.

Cons

Pay wasn't high enough for a college graduate, seasonal and didn't know when the project would end or if you would get the bonus that week. There appeared to be no reason why certain people rose in the company. In addition, there was no reason why certain people were called back to do projects and others were not. They are scheduling projects tightly together so that they don't need people for as long as they used to and not getting other projects to make up for it, so it appears in the near future they will not be hiring as many people as in the past for a shorter amount of time. It is a job for someone in between jobs.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees with more respect. Give them more feedback on their performance.

Pros

They do a decent job of training you for what you need to score. Team leaders are helpful as are the scoring directors.

Cons

Not too many for what the position is. Could perhaps pay more, but who doesn't want more money? Break room is crowded with lots of readers at the Plymouth location. Would be good to know what the long term schedule looks like for projects coming down the pike, but again just a minor thing.....

Advice to Senior Management

If you need to make some money and have a college degree and can score writing or math items then you can do some work for them if you follow the scoring rubrics. Not a bad thing to do if you are in between jobs.

Pros

Good Pay for Part Time. Nice people. They fill you with lots of free snacks.

Cons

It gets kind of tiring and hard on back. You can't miss any of your shift to get the bonus pay which is what makes your pay so good.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep encouraging the workers.

Pros

very good job opportunity for someone who is unemployed. Good salary. Good working environment and dress is casual. there are weeks that give you bonus, if you work 40 hrs!

Cons

the bad thing is that it is only seasonal work. We hired for one project and only work until the project duration, and then you lose your job.

Advice to Senior Management

well.... actually I have no advice, the truth is that the work is seasonal and they can not do anything!

Pros

Very laid-back and low-stress. Lots of feedback on work performance on a daily basis. This includes both negative and positive. Overall, wonderful and interesting co-workers. Promotions are generally from within.

Cons

The Reader/Test Scorer position is strictly a seasonal opportunity. Thus, no traditional benefits (i.e. no medical/dental, insurance, paid time off, etc.). Opportunities for advancement are somewhat random and are by management appointment.

Advice to Senior Management

N/A

Pros

Interesting work grading student writing, reading and math tests from schools from across the country. Basically temporary and seasonal work. Very detail oriented. Good training provided on how to apply the state's grading criteria to the tests.

Cons

The pay is too low, under $13 an hour. Difficult to become a team leader unless you have a teaching background.

Advice to Senior Management

The pay should at least be $15 an hour since you require a 4-year degree. Also there should be a seperate bonus paid to all readers when projects are completed early. After all I am sure the company makes quite a bit extra when the project is finished early.

Pros

Decent place for seasonal employment, especially between job transitions or post-retirement. Good place for meeting people who have worked in all sectors.

Cons

Low pay with meager benefits, monotonous work.

Advice to Senior Management

Compensation was on the low side and benefits were substantially lacking. Work was extremely monotonous and readers were often treated with little respect.
