Pros
Have been at Bayside Solutions for over a year and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into staffing or searching a new home. Bayside operates differently than other staffing firms, because they treat you as business partners rather than someone who is there to simply hit daily/weekly metrics. This translates to a great company culture where people in the office are genuinely happy to show up and work together.
Cons
Like most agencies I have been a part of there has been a lot of turn over; again I feel this is more a con to the industry than Bayside. Bayside has done a great job retaining its core team.
Advice to Management
Keep it up and continue to grow the team!

Pros
Apply internally and you get hired. Quit and apply again and you will get hired. No degree, you get hired. Fill a seat and get some money and benefits. If you are one of the favorites, you can do whatever you want. Good training ground for "corporate life" and staffing experience. Ability to sit in a seat for 8 hours and pretend to do work; no one will notice.
The back office is a great team with good people that are undervalued and overworked.Cons
This applies to recruitment/sales only:
***A company that has their internal employees information compromised*** Due to idiocy or incompetence, how can you trust a company that let's this happen?? How does this not have any impact on contractors??
Either get on board or get on out. Hostile work environment. Forced overtime through lunch and weekends, treated terribly if you say no. If you have a good idea you'd like to implement it will not be taken seriously. Blatant favoritism. If you are strong producer and you are not a favorite, you will be forced out. Weak producer but are a favorite, you can stay and also get paid more than your colleagues. But, they will low ball you in pay. You are treated as a number, which is odd for such a small company. If you want a promotion, you'll have to wait until someone quits. Don't worry, it will happen. This all leads to a multitude of issues that I cannot begin to list.
Yes this is staffing and turnover is high, but people leave this company in droves for a reason every other year or so for a reason.Advice to Management
What do you even do??? Seriously so much secrecy and all you talk about is numbers no one understand and yell at employees if they don't fall in line with your old school mentality. Use of fear tactics makes for unhappy employees. Stop hiring old friends to lead. You do not live by your values. Clean house and start over.
Bob's cool, accessible, and easy to talk to/get advice from; it'd been nice to see you around more often.Bayside Solutions 2018-04-07 07:55 PDT![Bayside Solutions Logo]()

Pros
Great place to ger your start in recruiting. It's a job-nothing more.
Cons
Just about everything else. Terrible money. Not a place you stay beyond a year. Dont drink the Kool-Aid. Have a plan. Stay a year and move to In-House recruiting.
Advice to Management
Wow, where to start. You would probably need to have management first before I could give advice. There is one man that kept me there, and he is the only reson I stayed as long as I did. I still respect this guy to my core, and he is certainly a metor of mine. . Honestly, I dont know what he is doing there. He could be Director of TA anywhere he wanted.

Pros
The teams at Bayside are awesome. You will work with some of the most amazing people. If you land with a manager that’s well established, it will make recruiting a lot easier. The back office at Bayside is extremely supportive and really partners well with the recruiters. The benefits are pretty good. Commission structure is improving. Overall, this is a great place to grow as a recruiter. You will have deadlines to meet and there will be pressure to close positions but that happens everywhere. Build a good relationship with our manager and continue to learn as much as you can while working at Bayside. Many people receive promotions into sales based on their work ethic and numbers. It’s a great place to grow and learn about what you want in your career.
Cons
There is a lot of turnover. It can be overwhelming at times. Also, 3 paid sick days is NOT enough for most staff. People come into the office sick so they do not have to use their PTO and everything gets passed around the office. Which means, I’m the event you want to actually take a vacation, you don’t have enough PTO to take it paid.
Advice to Management
Continue to work closely with the employees and build the teams with the RIGHT people. Take into consideration what a work from home day might mean to some and maybe add more robust PTO.

Pros
This company is a great place to start a recruiting career. Bob is a fun and friendly Boss. I wish . could say more about the rest...
Cons
The minute my teammates started leaving, management put the pressure on the strong performers instead of trying to hire new people. This caused a downshift in performance, and was reflected negatively on US....
Advice to Management
Understand that your employees are miserable and do not blame the company or people the team is leaving for.....

Pros
I was contracted to work at a big biotech company in the area which looks good on CV. I was able to gain enough experience to find a job with more benefits and consideration for workers. The recruiter I worked with was very nice.
Cons
There is no paid time off whatsoever and bayside solutions offers minimal benefits to employees like me. It is clear that there is no consideration for the well-being of employees contracted out to other companies.
Advice to Management
A little paid time off goes a long way. I would have been happier working for bayside solutions had they actually showed they cared about the well-being of the employees they contract to other companies. It seems like a slimy business where you make money off of me while doing nothing. I have no respect for a company like that.
