Pros

-The company itself is strong, has some good history and is well known in the market. -Internal process is fairly straight forward, easy to learn, easy to get going.

Cons

-Micromanage you to death. You will be monitored every second of every day for everything you do. -Terrible managers. Lots of young managers who don't understand employee engagement, motivation, or sales. -Low compensation. They are not even close to paying what others do in the industry. I found this out first hand once I began to interview elsewhere. -Benefits are horrible. Their benefits package is terrible, costs you a ton of money if you have a family. -No work-life balance, they want you there 12 hours a day and will criticize you and discourage you from taking vacation or sick time, even if you've earned it.. -No method of promotion - you would have to have the stars align and someone quit or leave to get a promotion.

Pros

You are able to learn very quickly because you are thrown in to a job where internally they are understaffed. Although you get burned out quickly you learn every aspect of the job from the perspective of recruiting, sales, customer service, management, payroll, etc. You literally learn every part of how a staffing office runs because you and about 3-6 others are the only ones running a branch.

Cons

NO COMMISSION! There are no incentives to work 50 hours a week and rarely take lunches because all you receive is a low base salary and no commission which is unheard of in the industry. The only motivation you have is working hard so you dont get in trouble by your branch manager or regional director. They claim that quality is most important, but really on a day to day basis, it is all about putting people in jobs as quickly as possible to make money. The median age in the Philadelphia market has to be 26 yo because of the high turn over rate. When I worked there the entire district turned over interally almost 100%

Pros

You will understand the importance of a Structured corporate firm if you work with this unstructured firm run by Ramna. .

Cons

. It's a pile of mess you would not want to enter. It's a Monarchical set up with no structure or willingness to improve. Do not join this organization for your own good. Ramna runs it like a grocery store.
