Roth Staffing Reviews

Pros

The recruiters that work there are very nice and responsive. I've had two jobs in the four months I have lived here and only a two week gap in between.

Cons

You are usually responsible in keeping in contact with them, but as long as you do they are great at responding.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more proactive in keeping in contact with us about how the job market looks and estimated time of finding work.

Pros

Temporary Work but interesting companies

Cons

Low pay not much room to move up

Pros

Roth Staffing try's hard to be a Mission, Vision Values focused company. Competitive Salary with lucrative bonus potential. Very responsive MIS department. Fun, energetic and innovative marketing dept.

Cons

Poor channel of communication between Departments and Management. Lack of planning, organization and support decreases efficencies, engagement and individual growth of superior talent.

Advice to Senior Management

There are too many holes in coordination and communication between departments / management, and a lack of consistency in policy implementation.

Open your lines of communication with all coworkers so that you can be savvy about what's REALLY going on in your branches. You hire great talent, but lack developing the talent by not paying attention.

When a knowledgable co-worker try's to voice concerns and protect the ethics and integrity of your company, don't invalidate them. What is the purpose of an "open" engagement survey if they are only "spot checked" by upper management?

Pros

The service people treat the candidates well. They work very hard.

Cons

Poor leadership running the company from the top down. They need to listen to their employees more. The don't follow the Mission, Vision and Values that they preach to their clients.

Pros

This is a great environment to learn in and to prepare yourself for career advancement either within the company or elsewhere if you have to relocate. The atmosphere is very friendly and supportive.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is that there currently is no 401(k) match - but the other benefits are very competitive.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to recognize talent and promote from within whenever possible.

Pros

Roth Staffing has truly enabled me to utilize my talents. They position you for success. There is a lot of effort put into hiring very competent and friendly people. Those who are not friendly, ethical or competent don't last very long at the company. A lot of support is provided by the corporate office – more than other businesses in the staffing industry.

Cons

The company runs very lean and there is a lot of expectation placed on every coworker. Only the most efficient and talented survive long term, but I still have never worked for a better organization.

Pros

Ethical, competent, and caring management. Incredible team spirit. MIS excellent support and imagination. Corporate marketing team with real skill and talent. Truth in communication.

Cons

Like every company the economy caused us to have to let go of talent we didn't want to lose. We are still running lean. If you don't intend to give your job every ounce of your focus and energy and embrace the mission, vision and values of this company you may as well not bother to apply. It is the core of everythng we do and you will stand out like an onion in a bouquet.

Advice to Senior Management

Thank you for continuing to grow as people and as a company and demanding we grow as well.

Pros

It's a company who is what it says it is. This company really cares about people and is always trying to create new programs and technology to help candidates and customers. They take pride in hiring the best and they expect you to be the best. It can be frustrating when you are being pushed to your limits, but when you look around and see that you're more successful than you thought you could be, you appreciate the high expectations. Everyone is so helpful and there is so much support from other branches and especially from corporate. You can always get a hold of someone and they are always willing to help you figure out a solution, teach you how to do something better, or take on a project for you. I also love that it is a private company and not subject to the financial pressures of greedy shareholders who demand business decisions be made to increase profits. It's evident that business decisions at Roth are made to improve service to customers and candidates (and coworkers) and not to make money for shareholders.

Cons

It's lean. Because they hire exceptional people, they know they can get a lot out of those people. So much can be done with more resources (more people, bigger teams) but I also respect the fact that they are very cautious and deliberate with financial decisions. The company is very financially stable and there's a reason. All companies have areas for improvement - Roth Staffing is still growing and learning, and yet it's still the best company I've ever worked for.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop talking about improvements you plan to make to the new employee process and the training process and just start doing it. Too many great hires are not being mentored and not being given the tools they need to succeed. Continue caring about people on a human level and providing the guidance and recognition you currently give.

Pros

Employee friendly environment is encouraged and followed. Warm environment, no office gossip. Coworkers are kind and helpful, people are acknowledged by each other for work well done.
Management truly cares about employees and gives encouragement and recognition. Management spends a lot of time and energy on choosing and retaining the best performers and also on guiding others to reach their potential.

Cons

Pay is on the low side compared to other industries, but most likely in line with other staffing companies. For me, the benefits of working in a great environment have outweighed the slightly lower pay.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros

Roth is a great place to work. I have never worked at a place where almost everyone is nice, friendly, and competent. The management team really tries hard to run the company using their mission, vision and values and they make it clear that everyone is expected to uphold these standards in their day to day activities.

Cons

Not a lot to complain about. My biggest gripe would be that we have to many meetings.
