Pros

None Recent positive reviews are all from consultants they work with, not actual employees that actually work at the company... sneaky way to boost their rating - they offer staff gift cards and bonuses if they get consultants to leave positive Glassdoor reviews.

Cons

Obscenely racist. They label potential candidates as "rwb" or "red white and blue" which is code for "white." Candidates are rated on their "communications skills" which really means their command of the English language and an English accent - anyone with an accent not from America need not apply. Management is exceedingly young and inexperienced. Leaves way for a very unprofessional work place. On my first day my manager told me she doesn't wear bras. Why that was something I seemed like I needed to know, I'll never understand. Additionally, the management is aggressively catty. They hold grudges against employees they decide they do not like - it's rather absurd and cliquey. Work hours are grueling. You're expected to be in your seat by 8 AM and stay until the whole team hits their goal, at least 6 PM, sometimes as late as 9 or 10 PM. You're also working on off-hours, which is peculiar considering employees are paid hourly rather than at a flat salaried rate. They offer unlimited PTO but you're lucky if they allow you to use it. They make you feel bad for utilizing the benefit, and then expect you to be available and on your phone while you're on vacation.

Hey, We're sorry to hear about this experience you've had. All of our full-time employees are and have always been, salaried and therefore do not get paid based on an hourly rate. As part of our culture first initiative, our employee-run People Strategy Committee rolled out our hours of operation mid-year, 8:30 - 5:30, in addition to setting better parameters around after-work emails. Because work-life balance, in a sales environment, is still very important and possible. "RWB" is not a part of Mondo's vernacular and labeling candidates based on their ethnicity or communication skills does not align with what Mondo stands for. This is not the culture or work environment we want for any of our employees. To the best of our knowledge this term is not used anywhere, however, we will look into this and investigate this matter further. We do encourage you to reach out and speak with HR about your experience as well. Best, Mondo

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

I decided I’m sick of seeing the fake 5 star reviews. This place will tear you down, expect unrealistic metrics that don’t translate to anything, and it was an insanely toxic environment. I would not recommend working here to my worst enemy. I get why companies and hiring managers don’t work with them ever again. If you think of applying look at turnover and the amount they hire across all offices. Went to other staffing companies and realized how insane they operate it’s almost comical
