CareerStaff Unlimited Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

I worked in Corporate and loved my direct team and had to interface with all Business Units. Non- manager roles typically were pleasant to interface with. Although not everyone, as one would expect was easy to work with. Remote work was amazing for work/life balance and saving gas/environment and appreciated. Employee Engagement seems like they really cared about bringing together the workforce with Networking and fun activities (at least once a month for each) which was truly appreciated. However there was a disconnect of them gauging the true dynamics between core teams and their upper management which I would have liked to have seen to work out kinks that were clearly there impacting daily employee productivity and happiness.

Cons

A lot to name. -Health Benefits --do not start until 90days in AND are VERY EXPENSIVE to actually use if you need them. They offered BlueCross which was good but the tiers were too expensive to use which is sad...for a Healthcare staffing agency! -Pay is under bar compared to job titles in other industries, as well as their own -Disorganized: Training started with general training for the majority what they hire for (Recruiters) so it wasn't at all geared for what I did. This proved to be how everything seemingly is done... disjointed and not factoring in the bigger picture. Very few things were documented in their single repository (The Hub) and so everyone had old, outdated and their own tribal kept information which caused confusion and conflicts. There is a LOT of opportunity to be great however the right players aren't in positions in power to define what should be worked on and what initiatives should be prioritized which led to constant feeling of just flapping in the wind and like everyone just kept their head down and did their dailies but there was no real want to hear ideas for process improvement. It was hard to get a Director to listen too...everything seemed to have to funnel thru your own manager so it would never make it to anywhere if you had a bad manager. -If laid off- they don't pay out vacation OR even allow you to get the rewards from their reward system that YOU EARNED! -Lack of movement in job opportunities AND -Not necessarily a place to learn- teaching is done by tribal knowledge from your direct supervisor who may expect you to already know their proprietary GenServ, which you won't if didn't come from Genesis. They didnt offer opps to learn more in your craft or for extras you may want to pick up. For example they need so much to make them better, having a reporting team is just one I can thinking of. They should offer tuition to take classes to fill that need, for example advance Excel, stuff like that. -Management: CSU can be horrible if you're unlucky to get a bad direct Manager and/or Director. Managers and Directors are mostly new to employment (too green) or to managing itself, ergo not adept at it. My manager made it hell on earth at times condescending and over-micromanaging a group of professionals who didn't need that. It was clear she was used to managing a different type of employee. Non managers were generally caring and easy to work with however Managers and Directors were rude, unresponsive and disrespectful, making it difficult when you needed information from them. -Unstable work environment- they laid off key roles but not enough roles they'd have to make it public. -Lack of diversity in age groups: Most work force tends to be new entrants to the work force so even what should be tenured positions are being led by people with very little actual business acumen. This means that poor decisions are made and the wrong priorities are addressed in the wrong timing. Recruiting here is high pressured and with a lot of unattainable goals. I could see the stress there and could see the breaks of where things went bad for temps. Personally I loved my job and direct colleagues, so much so that I asked to cross train and was growing and learning but it's funny how although I literally never took time off save two vacation days and one of which was for a health event I had to be hospitalized for.... just a few months later, I was laid off. Coincidence that the oldest person on the team who only took one day to handle a life threatening health event was laid off? I don't think so.

Pros

Easy job but mainly admin work.

Cons

Job is not for someone with much experience. I have heard that in some positions the work/life balance was good but that was not the experience that I had. You are severely micro managed and the culture and environment is aggressive and filled with drama. The culture is a point fingers first then maybe come up with a solution. If you are considering working here beware of what you are told before you are hired because it will probably not be the same as when you start.
