jobbite
RTTEMPS was a very chaotic place to work at. The job would have been much better if they had better management in place. Their approach was so reactionary and in the moment. The pressure was put on every recruiter on what was going placement was going to happen that day. Management had no interest in what was being cultivated and harvested for the future. Anything in the pipeline was meaningless if it wasn't a "Monday start." The expectations of consistently being on the phone for 3-4 hours per day is such an antiquated and dated idea. They failed to realize that so much of today's recruiting is done online. If they would send staff to training seminars/webinars they would have a clue. I suggest that this company learns to move with the times.
need better pay, benefits, and training!
RTTEMPS has been one of the worst placed I have worked for. They don't do anything right. Who ever heard of a company who lowers your base salary whenever they want to by 50%. They will take your comissions away to as they may see fit. Your hard work is never appreciated. The owner is a tyrant and the benefits are non-existent. They can't keep staff and have high turnover. Staff there are miserable and the ones that leave couldn't be happier.
1. Base pay was low for experienced professionals.
2. Employees were not respected as we were never rewarded for a job well done. The managemnt style is fear based via negative reinforcement as opposed to positive.
3. Benefits were poor as there were high out of pocket expenses (deductables) and a very low contribution on behalf of the employer.
4. There was no job security as more people were asked to leave than actual people staying.
5. If you consider being on-call (without pay) and working evenings and weekends as part of good work/life balance than you can decide.
6. There is no opportunity for advancement for most poeople. You should expect to stay in the same position you were hired for.
7. Location was charming - within walking distance to several restaurants and boutiques
8. I made several really good friends at this company that we all keep in contact with. The one thing we shared in common was our frustrations with this organization and the lack of respect.
9. Work environment was negative and hostile. One sided managment approach made it very diffucult for employee morale.
Personal Time Off - you were not always paid for it as it depended on the mood of the manager.
