Toxic Envoronment

Pros

I honestly cannot think of one.

Cons

Management is not effective, the environment is toxic, the turnover was like rats off of a sinking ship. Also they did not remove federal taxes from my checks and treated me as a 1099 even though my paperwork was completed as a W-2 employee.

Pros

Negative reviews let you know to avoid the place

Cons

I typed out a long detailed account of my hiring and firing that just got deleted by some network problems and they aren't worth a retype. They jerked me around, continually requesting and re-requesting info and telling me I did or didn't get the job more than once before actually hiring me. Then they expected me to work unbilled hours before my first shift started and fired me when I hadn't checked my work email the day before to see these orders as they hadn't mentioned them once during the online training conference. They also texted after the phone-firing [where they hung up on me btw] to threaten me AND my emergency contact with gardi coming to our home if I didn't immediately return a work laptop that i'd previously picked up in person. They also didn't reimburse bus far to or from their location either to receive or return the laptop. IN SUMMATION They were worse than a waste of time. If you see their name come up in your job search block them and move on.

Pros

None. If you are a business don't use these guys they gossip and your name will get around. Same advice to candidates.

Cons

Executive management and recruiters gossip about companys they are actively recruiting for. Recruiters gossip to me and about me to other colleagues. Candidates aren't secure all their information os shared around. Just not trustworthy, honest, transparent or good to work with. Told not to give candidates feedback ever to make them more keen.
