Pros

- Majority of employees are incredibly talented and supportive of each other - Many roles have a lot of autonomy and freedom to manage own workload - Worthwhile and meaningful work that positively impacts many people - Opportunities are there to learn and develop your own skills

Cons

- Senior Leaders frequently promote company values externally that employees struggle to see reflected internally and there is a growing disconnect between executive messaging and operational reality - Employee feedback is encouraged in theory but rarely influences outcomes -Promotions often depend on internal positioning rather than impact or measurable contribution - Recent restructuring and redundancy processes were handled with limited transparency and sensitivity towards affected employees - deeply saddening considering the industry we are in - Leadership decisions in the past year have contributed to declining morale and reduced confidence in organisational direction

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
