This review is highly accurate in a lot of instances, yet woefully misrepresents the facts in others.
With respect to the Pros:
This review is spot on in the respect that our organization is filled with extraordinarily talented individuals, both personally and professionally. Many of us have been around for 5, 10, even 15 years. A level of organizational tenure that is absolutely unheard of in our industry. It's not by chance. Earning potential is uncapped, our reputation in the eco-system is solid, and our client list deep and impressive. All very solid traits in a privately held organization, it's no wonder people join the team and stay here.
With respect to the cons:
We are a flat organization, and we make no apologies for it. Our hands-on action, hands-off management style affords high efficiency and maximum agility. Two traits critical to success in a fast moving market. Our culture allows for individuals to drive to their own success as they see fit. If an individual can't thrive in an autonomous and self-accountable environment, we're probably not the best fit. This is something we don't hide when speaking with prospect employees, and something that shouldn't be confused with a 'sink or swim' culture. Every one of us has all the resources we need to be successful.
The statement that we don't grow leaders is simply conjecture. Every single one of our managers and core senior leadership has been home grown, without exception. Every single one has began in a sales or recruiting desk. We pride ourselves on providing maximum opportunity, and when we seek to launch a new initiative, it's always on the efforts of someone we promote into it. We've witnessed countless individuals, grow, stretch, and realize professional and financial success beyond what they thought possible. It's incredible to see it unfold day after day.
Bottom line, we have a 20 year history of building the single largest niche staffing conglomerate in the region. We have a tenured staff unmatched in our space. Neither of which is by accident.
Respectfully,
