SnagAJob Reviews

Former Employee – worked at SnagAJob full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – I worked with some really great people who were super passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of hourly workers and job seekers. Some of them are still there, but many left.

The mission was noble, the potential was often exhilarating, but the results and reality never measured up. It wasn't our intention, but it became a case of focusing on the journey and not so much the destination.

Cons – Accountability was a core value but was very rarely demonstrated outside of sales quotas. The stopping and starting and constant changes in direction without anything to show were dizzying and frustrating.

Advice to Senior Management – If you want to build an atmosphere of trust and collaboration, then it starts with the relationship between leadership and everyone else. Also, you need to commit to jettisoning the few egos and toxic personalities - even if they're brilliant with tons of upside - that muck up the works for everyone else.

– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at SnagAJob full-time

Pros – - Some genuinely nice people who want to do the right thing
- Incredible office space
- Creative environment

Cons – - The culture is absolutely horrible. Don't believe the hype. Tons of backstabbing, management favoritism, heavy use of character assassination by senior management.
- Executive management values tenure more than career experience. If you're an experienced professional, your experience won't be valued.
- Expect to be moved around to new positions as management tries to "figure it out."
- In an effort to keep everyone happy, everyone winds up miserable.
- Overwhelming fear of change throughout the company

Advice to Senior Management – You have proven that you are completely untrustworthy. In an effort to save yourself, you are hurting an incredible number of people. Show some real courage by doing what might be hard for you, but right for the company.

Former Employee – worked at SnagAJob

Pros – 1. I think there are some genuinely great people there
2. The benefits were pretty good from what I remember

Cons – 1. I had a horribly rude manager experience during a team meeting
2. My impression of the general morale there is that the people are not happy
3. The culture preach is way overblown...its more of a fabricated culture than an organic true one...that's my view

Advice to Senior Management – this company needs some serious overhaul...I wasn't there long enough to really say what all needs done...

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at SnagAJob full-time

Pros – Fun culture, competitive compensation and strong CEO

Cons – SnagAJob.com continues to hold on to and even promote managers who kill employee morale and ultimately the complete vision that the founder has for the company.

Advice to Senior Management – Why SnagAJob continues to hold on to some of these folks in management is one of the secrets of the universe. Listen to your employees and the feedback that they have provided. All the consultants in the world will not change the fact that some of these Managers and Directors should not be managing.

Advice to Senior Management – You should do a better job of portraying the true nature of the sales positions and deflect candidates that won't enjoy telemarketing. Also, you hired way outside of your predicted market opportunity.

Former Employee – worked at SnagAJob full-time

Pros – - Decent Benefits
- Could be good opportunity

Cons – - I understand moving fast and breaking glass along the way (Good for a company), but this company is breaking glass in many directions and changing their vision and strategy multiple times in a short period of time causing internal confusion. Inexperienced middle management who cannot take the company to the next level. Experience is just not there.
- Does not let the sales team breath - Its healthy to do that
- Marketing - Need bigger marketing initiatives to hit targeted goals (Fortune level goals with 5-10 employee marketing budget). You have the money, use it.

Advice to Senior Management – - Research your future opportunities before you move on them. Transitioning to a software company is not easy. Make sure you have your ducks in a row.
- Brand your company. Their are many competitors in your space that have been doing it for much longer. Don't assume they are going to come to you.
