Pros

Great benefits package (Medical and Dental)

Cons

Extremely unorganized, unprofessional, no proper procedures in place or streamlined processes. Constantly given conflicting information. Staffing Specialists have so much on their plates, they are abused, and greatly underpaid. Company doesn't care about the front line staff and doesn't care about turnover. There is no incentive plans, no regular salary reviews, no proper training, nor team building activities. Follow-up from HR and other departments take days to receive. No opportunities for advancement, your work is not recognized by Head Office, because they don't know you and don't care what you've done. Going above and beyond is a waste of effort, because it gets you no where. We have too much admin, sales, and other waste of time activities on our plates that remove us from the real work...RECRUITMENT. Clients are always unhappy with us (and they express it to us) because there is so much turnover causing them to constantly meet new Recruiters who don't understand their needs. You're whole day is wasted because you are bombarded with phone calls, payroll issues, invoicing questions, and hundreds of other requests, and not to mention working with an extremely SLOW database that wastes so much time!
