Pros

Good PTO offering especially if you become more tenured. I worked with some amazing people on my immediate team

Cons

You will be held to weekly KPIs, if you don’t hit your goals expect to be put on a PIP and managed out. This is the nature of a staffing company. They restructured 3-4 times while I worked there, it felt like constant upheaval.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you valued your PTO benefits and had a strong connection with your team—those are important aspects of the employee experience. We also recognize that the fast-paced, performance-driven nature of the staffing industry isn’t for everyone, and we understand how challenging organizational changes can feel. While KPIs are a standard part of our process, we’re always looking for ways to support our team members more effectively through transparency, training, and open communication. Your insights are appreciated and help us continue to improve.
