Cons
- Very little pay for the managers and recruiters. - Staffmark does not provide enough staff per office. Employees feel overwhelmed and underappreciated - Expectations are extremely high with little reward. For example, you can bring in multiple new accounts and revenue as a recruiter and fill temp to perm requisitions, but are NEVER be compensated for these efforts. The commission structure is not as competitive with other agencies. - Incentives are laughable. If you win a contest, mere $5 gift cards serve as a reward. -Morale is low because everyone is so overworked. Upper management does not care about work/life balance. When away from the office, (vacation, medical leave, sick day, me time) you will receive calls from management that can wait upon return to the office. -Some individuals within upper management make poor decisions, but are quick to shift blame to others when that poor decision affects revenue growth and/or operations. - Ethics are questionable -Company is slow to promote minorities.
