What are perks and other benefits like at Actalent?

Good benefits, weekly pay and hybrid schedule

Lots of daily volume for tasks

Remote work, flexible schedule, room to grow

2 different types of employee status and there is no hope of attaining full time employee that comes with bonuses, 401k match, tuition reimbursement and several other benefits

Not so many! They are middle man and do nothing other than the pay roll which sometimes they do not do it right

No benefits, bare minimum holidays and almost no paid vacation days

Benefits, steady pay, that’s about it

FAIL TO INFORM YOU OF YOUR PTO AND BENEFITS UNLESS YOU ASK!, threaten you with a non-compete if you leave them mid contract for another agency, they will block you from taking another higher position, and HAVE THE WORST MANNER OF CONVERSATION. Dont let them fool you! They are very good at showing a certain image of the company but once you work for them communication stops, benefits aren’t being communicated, and they leave you in the dark. Urgent information you may need will take them FOREVER to get back to you once you sign! RUN

Gave tons of training and pay is average

No work from home benefits, no employer match

Flexible, Remote, okay starting pay for someone beginning their career. Only reason I stayed 7 years because it allowed me to follow my passion outside the company and grow my business.

It is a contract and work load depends on client. Management is not the best and very micromanaged. Benefits are not the greatest, no 401k contributions, health insurance is low quality. There are other contract companies that are better.

The agents I was privileged to work with at Actalent were very informed about my industry. I was able to pick from a broad array of companies and roles to further my career goals.

The contracted structure of the employment opportunities meant less security and benefits at most companies.

Weekly pay Contract to hire most often Layoff protection, given 90 days notice, contract dependent

Benefits are 100% employees responsibility No parental leave for 1 year Contract to contract

The pay is great, especially for those who grow their territories and start hitting bonuses and building their commission. Good benefits, and 20 days PTO start. The option to have a hybrid schedule varies depending on manager, but company is consistent in allowing for work-life balance (doctor's appointments, school drop offs, etc). Also get cellphone/gas allowance, and are able to expense all client lunches, happy hours, outings, as well as some internal meals. Lots of opportunities to grow, whether it be internal leadership, national sales opportunities, corporate positions, etc.

The sales cycle is long, particularly when breaking a new account, so it can take a while to get going. Very little training. Mostly just online modules and then the expectation from management is to "shadow" other sellers. While culture in most offices tends to be fast paced, friendly, energetic, and full of high performers, it can be very difficult for new people to get anyone to slow down to help them, or get partnership in the beginning.

The 13 week training program is fairly rigorous and useful. Some of the people you will work with are great. Hope that you have a great team leaders (like I did), because I heard horror stories about some of the others. Excellent place to be a stepping stone to something else, ideally stepping into something else as quickly as possible.

"First one in the office, last one to leave." The type of place that glorifies the person working 60, 70, and 80 hours a week. Even if the numbers they put up matches the person only willing to work 50 hours. The salary portion sounds appealing for an entry level job but the amount of time spent in office combined with the expectation and encouragement of working from home leads to an earning of near minimum wage. The commission structure is designed in such a way that you never really get any legitimate earnings until long after you've closed a deal. Each deal peppers in a small amount to your paycheck over the course of the 12 months. There is a high turn over rate in the office and the benefit of someone leaving is; if they've placed a few people, the company continues to reap the benefits of that contract and hands the placed candidate over to another recruiter (who doesn't take over the commission) for continued care taking. Which generally doesn't happen, because what incentive would the remaining recruiter have to help a candidate they have no earnings on? Beyond the obvious, which is caring for the people your team is representing. But when a recruiter is already being drained of everything they have sustaining their own workload, it makes it nearly impossible. Actalent (Allegis Group) does not care about you. Actalent does not care about their candidates. I honestly don't even know if Actalent cares about their clients. Shortsighted approach to business and the people that thrive here are the embodiment of a stereotypical used car salesman and tend to be of the good ol' boy mentality. Do not work here. But if you do end up working here, start looking for an exit door as soon as you can.
