On Target Jobs Reviews

Former Employee – worked at On Target Jobs

Pros – Positive working environment, great culture. They are very flexible and provide good benefits. Multiple company outings supported by management. Office is pretty neat as well.

Cons – Noting worth complaining about. The people are good, competent, and seem to care about what they are doing. It would be awesome to have more career advancement chances, but it is a growing company.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep trying to make the products better, make sure morale stays high, keep hiring good people. It would be nice if technology was more responsive, but I think they are doing the best they can.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at On Target Jobs full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Free drinks at company events

Cons – Bad performance reviews, STAR Awards are a popularity contest nominated by peers instead of management, executive team likes to stroll the office towards the end of the day to make sure you are at your desk working, most of the executive team flies into Denver on a weekly basis while people are being laid off great way to spend money!!!!, no chance for advancement, no on-going training, no collaboration across the organization, marketing department is a revolving door, sales department is unhappy and no one seems to notice, too much turn over in IT and I don't know the name of anyone in accounting.

I've seen some of the reviews on here that are decent rating and I feel like it's someone in HR doing it so the company doesn't look bad. Too Late!

Advice to Senior Management – Stop hiring from outside the company as there are plenty of qualified people under your nose. Too much of a "good old boys club" that you cannot get into (unless you are married to a member).

I also feel like management would not be able to do my job, I would love to see someone on the executive/management team sell a package to an employer, handle payment issues or try to fix someone's email issues.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at On Target Jobs full-time

Pros – Was the best company in the world before it was sold.

Cons – Was the face of a VC who liked to buy out niche job boards enticing company recruiters to post their jobs on a more "industry-specific" site in hopes of finding more fitting, qualified, "passive" job seekers than the usual suspects on the general sites (IE CBuilder, Monster, etc...) could have been a great concept but no effort, money, strategizing, or personnel standards were even attempted. The "plans for restructure" and using our new investors' money to gain exposure and improve product management were nil. Instead they focused more on cutting the fat, setting people up with sales territories doomed to fail while others basked in commission, and sales plummeted. Job posting packages were being made up on the spot for the sake of making the sale. One example- usual cost to post one job was $400. It was common practice to throw free postings (one contract was for 10,000 postings at $1499/Month) because the postings produced no hires or qualified applicants to ANY clients. In fact most postings received an average of 3 views and .2 applies (educated and in no way sarcastic guess). The The niche boards were spread out all over the country and even though EACH one of them was provided a complete C and VP Level Staff brought in by the VC, the CEO's just shrugged until most of the boards ran themselves into the ground.

Advice to Senior Management – If you are in middle management, you will be the last to be told and the most affected. Do research on repercussions if your company is acquired and what to look out for when the new suits start making changes.

Pros – There are many talented people there and the company has so much potential. An exciting place to work.

Cons – The whole adds up to less than the parts. Distracted senior management consistently unable to match message with action.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in your product, too many people with multiple titles and responsibilities. How about adding an operating officer?

Former Employee – worked at On Target Jobs

Pros – Good space in theory; job boards are fun!

Cons – Management would close doors and scream at employees; they fired people while on vacation just because they got upset they were gone.

Advice to Senior Management – Fire yourself.

Current Employee – been working at On Target Jobs

Pros – It's an okay company. No clear direction of where they're going. Too much conflict between IT and leadership slowed progress and kept us way below the technologies of our competition.

Cons – Disappointed that I wasn't aware of the changes of going to an "enterprise" structure.

Advice to Senior Management – Having a VP for every 3-5 people really isn't necessary.

Former Employee – worked at On Target Jobs

Pros – Managers are inexperienced and vacant so if you are looking for a place to slack off, this is it! The company events and parties used to be a blast!

Cons – No room for upward growth. Same people always get promoted. Management is lackluster. Quotas are unrealistic. Pay scale is unfair and not industry standard (got paid on money collected not on sales made). Most sales people were there to collect a paycheck and not sell - very disconcerting for someone looking for a professional sales track. I cannot stress enough how terrible and unrealistic management is...one would be better off working for trained circus monkeys! No gas comp but you are REQUIRED to do 10 face-to-face appointments per week using your own car and your own gas. Benefits are terrible $900 a month per family health insurance even if you are only 2 people. No sick days and only 12 paid days off.

Advice to Senior Management – Be more hands on with your people. Gain sales experience before entering into a sales management position! Improve the product instead of raising prices and lowering quality. Have one-on-one meetings to track progress and assess challenges. Any feedback is good, positive or negative. In my 2+ years there I was never congratulated by my manager for a sale once!
