Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The many downsides of working at Talentcor include but are not limited to: -Poor commissions - Managers will steal the good candidates and submit for their own commissions -Gossipy and badmouthing are frequent amongst managers and their "best friends" IE- THEIR manager. -Poor communication - Managers will often hide details and leave you in the dark to guess. Especially to new employees. - Lonely environment... - most people keep their doors shut and keep their heads down and work. No collaboration amongst team members. -Poor company in general - could not afford advertising so I had to drive around town for 3 hours in the rain and post flyers on bus stops/ terminals/telephone poles - which you know will be torn down as soon as you walk away. No money for advertising. The particular jobs you are hiring for, are so low in pay that you end up hiring the most unqualified people to do a dangerous job. Even seen people hurt on the job because I was forced to send someone in who physically could not do the job, but if they didn't do - it would be "my head on a stick. " - exact phrasing from manager Breaks - everyone brags about how they are actually going to take a lunch today but then say "you HAVE to take a break", so you feel like a slacker and end up eating alone at your desk.

Advice to Management

Any relationship between a manager and their direct boss should be kept professional. Too many times, they crossed the line and did not listen to any of my complaints about my direct manager. Instead was told, its probably me and not them. When someone complains to HR about a person, those complaints should be taken seriously. Especially when there has been multiple complaints against the same person by... different people. LISTEN TO YOUR STAFF. And if a branch cannot keep a recruiter on, leaving the position open for months and months and months - THATS A RED FLAG. Also check in with your HR team - I received 3 different salaries and ended up with one that was not presented to me originally. Times of my interview was incorrect, ended up showing up 1 hour early. Many, many mistakes in email correspondence. It is not difficult to proofread an email before sending.

Pros

Great environment to work in

Cons

I can't think of any

Pros

Talentcor has some excellent clients and excellent recruiters. For the most part management is too busy avoiding real work to manage anyone, so there can be a tremendous amount of autonomy if you work responsibly. Work/life balance can be good.

Cons

Senior management is profoundly incompetent. At Talentcor, customers are not the top priority - management is. Some are decent but generally speaking they limit their involvement to ego-enhancing activities like retreats and workshops. They seldom participate in anything that impacts the business in order to avoid responsibility for failure. Communication with staff is non-existent - ownership encourages a culture... of elitism. If you are OK with participating in the fantasy that management is playing 7D chess, you'll do fine. If you recognize the reality that they are bumbling fools, you won't last. They love yes men and women.

Advice to Management
