Minpunten
-Perm commission structure sucks - you can make at most 10% of the fee if you manage the account and supply the candidate -Perm commission isn't paid out on time. Too many manual layers that you are individually responsible to keep on top of i.e. when invoice is paid out -Temp commission group bonus is not defined, so you'll have no idea what benchmark you're supposed to hit to make it or what amount you're likely to get -leadership team provides no support.. no sales, no operations, is inappropriate, two faced, passive aggressive, no open door policy -Clients come first. Internal staff don't. They remind you of that in every way. -Internal communication is nonexistent -Pressure is high and unnecessary (mainly because the leadership team have no idea what they're doing) -High turnover -Branch manager says bad things about her own staff behind everyone's back -HR is not an employee advocate -You can't go to anyone if you have a complaint, valid or invalid, because nothing is confidential -You're expected to work around the clock - no work life balance -No internal structure - very chaotic, nobody knows what they're doing or supposed to be doing, leads to lots of bickering because nothing gets done well -Too many clients, not enough recruiters - service levels suffer -Recruiters are not given specialties, are generalists, so candidate pools are never diverse enough to support random business, every recruiter is stretched to the thinnest -No future vision -National sales team are too disconnected with internal staff, so promises to clients are unrealistic -You will go to see clients, who you wished you were a temp for.... you'll hear your manager tell a client how to engage the workforce, how to keep talent, but they don't actually practice it with you or your team! -ATS is ancient, doesn't work for you, is so limited, outdated -Your expectations for a global company will not be met, you'll be shocked at the level of disorganization, back stabbing, unprofessionalism
