Pros

The only positive was the friendships I made with coworkers. Other than that there are only negatives.

Cons

Leadership has a completely flawed vision. They spend their time on meaningless tasks that don’t pertain to production. Leadership focuses on metrics like amount of calls made and neglects profit that employees bring in - the only thing that matters. The majority of Account Managers are awful with feedback and lose out on countless deals and opportunities for new business. As an employee, if you speak your mind about something, you get reprimanded. For the past year, the jobs recruiters have had to work have been objectively awful and for the most part, a waste of time. If you want stability, don’t come here. Hays is a revolving door and they could care less about their employees. In fact, they will consistently lie to your face. I would’ve liked to do the referral program, but I thought the $ I would gain from it wouldn’t be worth knowing I lead someone into a sinking ship. Do not work here.
