Employbridge Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Employbridge full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – The company lives by its core values: honest, integrity, maturity and family first. The CEO & CFO are strong leaders and supportive of field operations. They are very accessible to all employees. The company allows for creative thinking and supports initiatives driven by the field. For those people who are willing to work hard and support the company values, EmployBridge is a great place to build a career.

Cons – Because the company is so driven by the field, it opens itself up to confusion among employees regarding processes. If you are looking for a top salary, you may not find it at EmployBridge, but you will find a supportive environment.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to acknowledge and support the very hard work of all employees.

Pros – Values of Honesty, Integrity, Maturity, Family First, and Passion for our business are lived out in most areas. The family first aspect, while not live out in every market, is generally upheld and separates Employbridge from many other organizations.

CEO is a great guy with lots of drive, vision and concern for the rank and file.

Cons – Have a hard time understanding that the regional leadership does not have all the answers. Should listen to area leadership and rank & file employees. Must break out of the staffing company niche and become a specialty supplier to clients who are also specialists.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire a professional compensation consultant to determine a plan that prevents people moving out of our company and industry into other companies and industries.

Pros – If you are in the staffing industry and like it, then this is the place for you. If you have never worked in staffing before...it's a dog eat dog business. Why is this place good for life'ers in the staffing industry? Little better than average salaries. Better than average benefits. I strong work / family life balance and they mean it. They break the company down into specialty divisions and each division is stronger than the whole. What I mean by that is Employbridge can outperform other general tem agencies by having divisions with specializations. This gives them a badly needed edge.

Cons – Just like any other temp / staffing company. You are only as good as your operations people. Good luck holding onto any account for a long period of time. Competitors are bottom feeders and willing to undercut you so bad that they loose money just to steal business away from you. Their hope is that they can eventually raise their rates back up, but in the mean time we all fight for the same business with razor thin profit margins.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing now, which is putting a stronger focus / initiative on who operations people service the clients. This is helping

Former Employee – worked at Employbridge

Pros – Working here gives a good taste of what to expect from the corporate world down the road. Great for an entry level recruiter or sales professional to learn about different industries in their area.

Cons – Have strong more seasoned competitors in all of their markets. Lack of stability with brands and regional management.

Advice to Senior Management – Some brands need support at the branch level that they are getting (or weren't in 2008). Get to know your regionals a little better because when they are coming in late and leaving early when GP is low...there's something wrong. Support your sales and recruiting teams a little better. After all, it's their hard work that puts the money in your pocket.

Pros – Upper Management Shares business information and seems fairly competent at running the company.

Cons – Empty Promises
No employee evaluations

Poor training and orientation for positions hired.

Little to no recognition to recruiters; all the awards and recognition go to sales people.

Former Employee – worked at Employbridge

Pros – Ability to work independently
Good vacation pay (if you can take it)
Develop a lot of hands on knowledge

Cons – Work long hours
1 person does the job of 4
Little if any training
Company policy used only for mgt benefit

Advice to Senior Management – Develop training structure instead of staff "winging" it. Realize you can't downsize forever. Senior mgt backs middle mgt blindlessly. Give people specific roles and duties instead of just moving them around to what ever is needed at the time. Middle mgmt unwilling to negotiate price even for more business. Customers are dictated to and a lot of business lost due to poor service. Senior mgmt thinks they are steering a ship which middle mgmt is sinking.
