Pros

You can go outside and smoke as much as you want, everyone does it.

Cons

Handful of people will be "lifers", it's very clicky and those "lifers" don't allow any new people to be included.

Thank you for your review. I’m pleased to hear about the Talascend Family feel. This is important to us and we wish all employees to be part of our family. Being part of a family is more than just employing nice people, however. We need to create a work environment where people can perform at their best and know that we have each other’s back. Talascend is instituting work environment improvement plans that include flexible work schedules, employee activities, and open forums for people to share their voice helping us create our future. We not only want our employees to feel like family but to also feel that Talascend is their home. Jason Dawson - President

Pros

Location of the office is pretty good Good place for entry-level or new Recruiters to learn the business Lots of opportunities to fill low-margin positions ($2-$4/hr gross profit) If you like the "old school" Recruiter office environment, it's perfect

Cons

High volume, low margin business model. Seem to be over satisfied with sub-vendor buisness rather than developing business with decision makers (engineering) Too many Salespeople are too timid considering the competitive technical marketplace Your comissions earned on Contract placements go back to the "house" after one year...you are "cut off" even if your people are still working on Contract
