Pros

I was able to work alongside some amazing colleagues while working in a hybrid setting. That’s about it.

Cons

- They will micromanage the hell out of you. When I was first employed it wasn’t so bad but the weekly meetings became daily and they require you to have your camera turned on at 8:30 AM every. weekday. morning. If you fail to join the meetings they threaten you with “disciplinary action”. - At one point, during my employment, they had us create an excel sheet where we had to list every single work task we did and how many hours it took to complete each work task. Micromanaging at its finest! - They only care about how many hours are being billed but not for the safety of the case workers or the hard work they do. - The turnover rate at this company is so high yet they fail to see that it is a result of the toxic work environment and instead blame the employees. - Unless you get along with the higher ups they will talk badly about you and other employees behind their backs. It’s a very Mean Girls clique in this program and if they don’t like you they will overwork you. - No raises or extra pay for doing the work of four through five people.

Pros

The mission of the organization is meaningful, and hiring managers genuinely value quality candidates and strong placements. The work can be rewarding when the focus is on making thoughtful hires that truly support vulnerable individuals. Team members care deeply about doing the right thing and producing strong, long-term results.

Cons

Under new management, recruiting has shifted to a numbers-driven model where metrics far outweigh quality, outcomes, and human impact. Recruiters are now responsible for interviewing and decision-making while simultaneously being held to significantly higher, rigid goals that do not account for location based candidate flow or program differences. Time is spent submitting phone screens and documenting nonviable candidates purely to satisfy metrics instead of actively sourcing strong applicants. Being discouraged from cherry-picking candidates, despite hiring for roles supporting vulnerable populations is concerning and demoralizing. This approach reduces efficiency, negatively impacts candidate experience, and has contributed to burnout and low morale. The system feels misaligned with the mission and set up for failure.
