Hays Reviews

Pros

Running for joy bar none cookies

Cons

Mental low target wonder women

Pros

Remote work available. Assets provided to contractors.

Cons

Regular sexual harassment by management, reports of managers making workers cry in meetings, management encouraged skipping meals during team meetings, lack of proper training and skill development, inconsistent and unclear policy/practices, refusal by HR to investigate two reports of retaliation and workplace harassment. The company also attempted to increase the hourly work expectation for salaried workers with no increase in pay. Refused to take action when discriminatory benefits packages were pointed out. Regular refusal by HR/Benefits/Payroll to communicate clearly and effectively. Caught the company underpaying me after learning my coworkers' salaries and was subsequently illegally told that we were not allowed to discuss pay with one another. Frequent surveillance and reporting of workers to management. When workers inquired about the role a new team would fulfill and their fears of being laid off, they were told not to worry, provided no information that answered their questions, and then were laid off months later with no notice or warning.

Pros

Great Branding Decent Commission plan Well respected global branding and marketing Training for new people

Cons

Micro Management is how the organization runs - typical "trust no one we hire" None of the leaders are true sales people - of your going into sales your are dead here 90% of clients for Hays will never get approved to do business with AR team are like debt collectors - will harass clients to pay like they owe child support...hence why most clients are not repeat customers

Pros

-Work from home twice a week

Cons

-This position is grossly underpaid. -Sr. "leaders" would talk about other employees in one on ones with other employees. So extremely unprofessional -Absolutely no culture. No investment in the office space, employee well-being or culture overall. -You really are just a number. Unless you are greedy and aggressive you will be pushed out -Training is just sitting on the computer for a week going through presentations. - No transparency. Everything contradicted each other so no matter what you are never good enough

Pros

Hays has a great reputation overseas, APAC, and EMA. Great Training, PR and Marketing. Work life balance is great.

Cons

All the Pro's are masked by the following: The US Hays organization in ran by a group of guys who adore themselves. After being here for 3 years and seeing about 50% of people leave in 6-12 months along with most of the corp HR Staff. This is something that is glaring culture issues, many of the leaders/supervisors are from the UK. It is typical shady staffing, hire some bright people, get their accounts and fire them. I see this routinely here. Ive seen countless less experienced people get ruined. The best is for 3 years I still cannot get access to the office, have to wait until someone comes in to let me in, we have not have office copier for 1 year so everyone needs to print at home. The Sr VP says "dont let the little things stop you" that is most foolish comment......it is the little things that ruin your experience at a company.
