Pros

None Avoid working there. If you get poached by other companies, of course do some research, but don't believe that Hays is the best option. Money is cheap with them.

Cons

Racism Harassment Sabotage Bullying No ethics No morals Poor money Poor management Poor hr Even higher ups are useless

Pros

Decent company culture depending on the day.

Cons

No “Real” leadership in the Dallas office. Managers are fearful of their higher ups and tend to be under pressure and pressure the rest of the team. Also everyone is calling the same clients everyday and nobody is giving the opportunity to truly build their own book of business which creates a bad environment and consultants fighting for ownership. Territories weren’t broken up geographically but by alphabetical order. “Hilarious” but in all honesty it’s crazy. Got laid off never got a call from my manager ever.

Pros

The training is amazing for someone who is starting out in recruitment like I was.

Cons

Literally the worst culture ever. Inappropriate conversations taking place all day. The hours are terrible. Commission structure is poor. Some consultants have tried to force personal intimate relationships with interns. Unethically billing clients an incorrect invoice just to get paid commission. My list can go on forever.

We are very disappointed to hear this and encourage you to speak to Trisha Brookes - Director of People and Culture. We are very proud of our culture at Hays and this review does not reflect on how we would like our employees to feel.
