Pros

- Accrued PTO is nice - Have three computer monitors - Business casual attire - Free donuts/bagels sometimes

Cons

Everyone in the office is frustrated and miserable working here. Recruiters keep leaving left and right and all management has to say is "we need more people to fill these seats" or "why is it so empty in here?" You feel like you are walking on eggshells everyday working here unless you are one of the few favorites who get to leave early randomly, take long lunch breaks, and come in late. The goals are unrealistic considering most teams are only recruiting for one client account. Management is always saying how they want us to stay late and work through lunch, but last time I checked it is against the law to force employees to work through lunch. Work life balance is non existent. They expect us to stay late and not spend time with our loved ones just to get a "sub." Delivery managers seem to not care about their job. Always away from their desks, coming in late, leaving early, etc. It is unfortunate when your supervisor does not even seem to care about his/her job let alone the team. The same recruiters are praised every month for "producing" otherwise known as "cross subbing." A few of the redundant phrase we hear over again here include, "smile and dial", "Do we have any subs coming?," "Why don't we get a low hanging fruit", "if you just pick up the phone and call people your job is easy." I would like new management to be hired to take a different approach to this operation. It is a toxic work environment, everyone is clearly unhappy working here and constantly applying for other positions. The pay is low compared to other Recruiting roles with competitors, and there are not nearly as many starts as management thought there would be per recruiter therefore no one is making the money they were convinced they would be making when interviewing.

Pros

I am a current employee with Modis as a national recruiter. I just wanted to say that the training program they have was great and definitely beneficial in my learning. I liked how we were able to learn each aspect of the recruiting process bit by bit throughout the program so that it was easy to master each part; rather than being thrown to the wolves and having to learn everything from sourcing to interview preps and extending offers all at the same time. In comparison to other training programs I have been a part of, it was a very nice change of pace to have the recruiter/sourcer relationship, where you can work directly under a senior recruiter to get feedback and have them act as a mentor to your learning. Weekly webinars were also a great learning tool, being able to get deeper insight into the roles that we are recruiting for helps to create more confidence in knowing the skill sets necessary to fulfill our job requirements. All in all, the sourcer training program definitely set me up for success to feel 100% confident in my recruiting abilities moving forward.

Cons

For the most part there are no cons that I have been aware of yet. Of course any good job is not going to be easy and there is effort that needs to be put forth to be successful, but Modis definitely provides the tools necessary to success.
